"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

Vista 32 Bit. NF41 evga nforce4 SLI mother board. Lots of power. It did crash on the first install because I tripped over the powercord.

Tried uninstalling driver etc.

Try going into your BIOS and disabling any devices that you wont be using (like serial port,parallel port,firewire, onboard audio, that kinda thing). That may free up some resources..........

You do have the bios set to use them in sli instead of just dual video cards right?

 

[robisbell]

did you make sure the onboard video was completely disabled?

help?

well, I am going to assume you did check the things I and radical mentioned. when you tripped over the power cord, did anything make a popping noise? you may ahve to reinstall vista again.
