Fresh OS install on hard drive.. then I go to install the drivers for the nforce4.. ok good.. now to display drivers .. I've tried 3 different sets and same results.. XP logo freezes up and reboots PC... I log in safe mode and remove display drivers and the PC boots right into windows fine.. now what is the problem here??

Off the top of my, the drivers.
Don't know about Nvidia, but the latest ATI's require DX9b I believe. Updated DX9 yet?

I thought the directx upgraded off the DFI disk I got.. it said directx9.0c... I'll download it and try it today... otherwise i'm at the point now I managed to get it to boot with the drivers loaded but when I went to kickon SLI it didn't boot again.. and a few boots it wouldn't show squat!!! not even the boot screen for hit enter to go into bios and stuff.
I think my graphic cards are screwed up.. and I think I did it to them.. I have 3 BFG 6800 GT"s PCIex cards and not either two paired up together seem to correct any type of issue I have with this computer... its driving me nuts!!!
So I've got a tech mail out to BFG tech asking what to look for if the cards are bad.. I'm prob going to end up sending all 3 to them to check em out and see if anything is wrong and replace if needed.. in the mean time I'm going to order two BFG 7800 GTX OC's with the new water cool blocks on them...
Hell with 490mhz core and 1300mhz memory I don't think I'll have issues with lack of video power for a long time in Dual SLI mode! that is if I can get the system to work..and by God I'll get it working if I have to stand on my head.
