AC97 System restart, no audio

hello i just recently reinstalled windows xp pro, with sp3 on my computer.
before i did i had audio and the program that was used was NVIDA.
But EVEREST assures me that that hardware it picks up is for AC97 driver. Upon installing AC97 driver, my computer crashes and restarts. Here is some information that may be of assistance
