Help! BSOD after nforce2 install

[mrchan]

okay, somebody help! i've had this problem with 2 different asus a7n8x deluxe boards, a rev 1.04 and a rev 2. tried winxp and win2000.

install windows (XP + 2000)- everything works fine
install SP - everything works fine
install nforce2 drivers (tried asus + nvidia) - machine wont shut down, i get a BSOD, memory dump, and a reboot. what am i doing wrong?

ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
XP 1700+
Geforce 2 GTS (Also used TNT2 just to check)
512 MB Generic PC2100 DDR

if i JUST install windows, and the SP then everything works (except for the nforce2 stuff obviously) and I can OC my chip and memory to 12.5x166. but after the nforce 2 install then i get the BSOD even if i am not OC'ing the chip/memory.

What do I do?

Disable in the bios all of the extra features such as lan, firewire, etc and then see if you get bsod. If you do keep removing add ons or start with removing everything but the bare essentials either way.
Might help to narrow it down.
