UNSOLVED
XP drivers issue I think
CPU Type QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
Motherboard Name 430i
Motherboard Chipset nVIDIA nForce 650i SLI
Oh man I have just had one of those weekend, you know the sort - just as you think your a great computer buff something happens to make you realise how dellusional you are.
Please please PLEASE HELP.
I have found various information about installing XP on a Vista so you end up with dual boot but for myself this has proved to be a minefield. I need some questions answered if I can and perhaps some pointers on what Im doing wrong.
Ok so I have shrunk 10gb for the XP install and formatted the partition. When I boot from XP disk I get the 'Blue screen of death' signifying a hardware failure/clash.
uh!
So I guess drivers and use Nlite to put into the XP instal disk the Nvidia Nforce drivers for 32bit XP. This worked and the XP install seemed ok until I came to the installation of the rest of the drivers. The graphics driver from Nvidia doesn't work. It's froze the computer. Blue screen of death and eventually I had to pull it out again.
So this is where I'm at now.
Do I have to use x64 XP or is 32bit ok.
Where do I get the drivers from (this is prolly the most important as the ones I'm using from Dell and Nvidia are not having it) unless Im using the wrong ones.
I'm sure this is a driver issue so if someone can help please!!

Hey thanks a lot for the reply. I'm really thankful
It's a Q6600 model computer but the Everest PC audit prog says its using a nForce 650i SLI
The graphics card is two GeForce 9800 GT's so I presume
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us&ptid=1&psid=51&pid=309is the one to use?
All the bloke on the phone at dell said was it was a 630, thats what he said when i gave him the tag ID.
I think thats what the problem is. When I gave that tag number to one of the people on the phone they said to me ahhh it's the such and such laptop! I said no it's a Q6600 XPS.
When I enter that into the drivers site and use them they do not work!. I mean ok the SATA drivers caught me out but I have installed XP many times and know the score!Message Edited by Scabby on 08-24-2008 05:32 PM

Not sure if this is a XPS 630. But with the 650i mobo, im going to assume so.
Try these drivers in the order listed.
