Hello
AMD XP 1250mhz
Ram 512ddr
Nvidia Fx5200 128 dual AGP
Nvidia Mx400 64meg PCI
I have had triple monitor setup running thru win2000. Now I have changed to Win XP Pro. I formatted and now it says an error occured and it being the Fx5200 causing the problem. I have tried different versions of drivers , even just trying to use the one card (fx5200) its keeps giving this error. I have removed all other hardware. It boots up to desktop and freezes then restarts, over and over. It will run the Mx400 ok on its own. I formatted again and tried fresh install, can load the 2 cards in , there is difficulty in loading drivers thou , and got as far as spanning desktop across all three monitors, but when the computer restarts , the error comes up again and freezes and restarts. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What SP (Service Pack) are you using on XP? And are you installing the SP before the video drivers? Also, do you have the latest BIOS installed on your motherboard?

Most likely there is no SP on the CD, so I would suggest first updating the BIOS, then installing either SP1 or SP2 before trying to install the video drivers.
The SP is always the first thing I install after I install a fresh OS. In fact, I've put together a Win2K install CD with Win2K-SP4 already integrated (slipstreamed) into it to make installation much simpler. You can also build a slipstreamed XP install CD with WinXP-SP1 or SP2.
