I thought I had solved this last time and figured out the hard drive was the problem to the last issue i had with my new system the specs below

nf7-s v2.0
2600+ mobile XP (not Oced)
512mb 256x2 3200 2-2-2-5 latency
160 gig baracuda seagate hard drive
auidgy 2
jet 7 heatsink works good
stock voltages
5900XT!! << problem
and an aerocool 430 wt PSU

I thought i had a problem with a 5200 graphic card last time but it is at it again i thought my hard drive was the problem. everytime i updated the drivers i would get BSOD or would not load into windows so i thought the hard drive was the problem i RMAed my hard drive back to seagate just got it back got windows on it. I can get into windows but once i update drivers for the nvidia card BSOD the default drivers work fine but the refresh rates are horrible and i cant game because windows does not recognize the graphic card. I swaped in a ati 9700pro worked fine in a another comp wont even get video on the nf7-s. Now i try the 5900XT same problems as the 5200 i get new drivers and bam BSOD!!!

How do i fix this i have tried several drivers and this is the third mobo from ABIT!! I dont know what to do all of the graphic cards work fine and the audigy 2 works fine i dont know what the problem is. I think i give up on abit mobos! I seriously quit If i cant figure out what it is please help.

Thanks for Reading.

Pull out everything but the bare essentials (PSU, MB, CPU, RAM, HDD, vid card) and try some stability testing programs (start with memtest86 and prime95). If those don't work, you have hardware issues.

Considering all the stuff you've replaced, I'd suspect either RAM or your PSU ("Aerocool" is not exactly a quality PSU manufacturer), or possibly a bad CPU.

edit: yeah, and what Matthias99 said. Although undervolted RAM could mimic faulty RAM.

Raise the memory voltage to 2.7 volts, and relax timings to 2.5-3-3-11, and set it to run at sync with your CPU's bus speed, and do not kick up a fuss about any of that

You should install the nVidia motherboard drivers and DirectX 9.0C (or preferably the whole Service Pack 2 containing DX9.0C) before installing your video-card drivers. Also (duh) make sure the FX5900's got its power cable from the power supply hooked up.

Put the Audigy 2 in PCI slots 2, 3, or 4, or better yet, yank it for now as a fact-finding step.

im hopeing to god its not hardware issue please god please dont let it be i have no money to buy anything nor have the time to RMA. I upgraded to windows XP service pack 2 and still same problems and i installed the mobo chipsets right off the abits cd but i have not tried the ram settings i will try that right now the volts are at 2.6 im certain and i will relax the timings and i put the sync thing on 6/6 so that should run with it. I also made sure the power cable was hooked up

ps o have tried prime 95 and memtest both they both passed no errors found in either one
