vga and ac97 cards making blue screen of death

Hi i have just installed a new motherboard, cpu, ram, vga card, and now it is all up and running, just, every time i install a new program, it will boot up to the XP start screen, then blue screen for a fraction of a second, shut dowm then restart and boot ok, but then when it gets to the desktop, either the vga card or audio card will say they both have corrupted drivers.

I have found that if i then reboot the machine again, the issue seems to repair itself and everything is fine.

Hoping that someone out there has got some advice please, and, as this is my first time,,,, be gentle with me! LOL.

System details;

MSI k8n neo2 platinum motherboard (neforce 3)
AMD 64 athlon 3700+ cpu
OCZ copper 512 mb ultra high performance ram x2

Hello! Welcome to TechSpot!

I don't think anyone here is willing to slap you around. :haha:
Did you do a fresh install of XP?
xp pro or xp home?
If not a fresh install, check this thread Windows repair install

thanks,

I did a fresh install of XP Home and formatted the hard drive before i did it for good measure. Everything went fine untill i started putting my programs back onto it. It seems to be running ok at the moment, as i am on the computer now. I almost dont dare to put anything else on it now it is ok, but i will have to at some point, or i will have lots of disks floating around being used as coffee cup mats, :bounce:
