Question : Problem: graphics driver causes reboot

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me with a little problem.
I have just reinstalled windows xp on my hard drive.The hard drive was apparently damaged according to my xp installer when I formatted it . I ran chkdsk /r and recovered my drive.
But now I have reinstalled xp and when the desktop opens I get a message saying " my graphics card is causing all the problems.
I cannot get to system to delete the drive as the computer keeps going into reboot mode when the warning is displayed.
please help its driving me nuts
Regards

Answer : Problem: graphics driver causes reboot

If it comes up with an error straight after installing a fresh copy of XP (with the standard Microsoft drivers) then I would strongly suggest checking your disk again.

Also, ensure all cables, PCI Cards and memory modules are seated correctly in your computer.

The latest drivers for your graphics card can be downloaded from here:
http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/56.72/56.72_winxp2k_english_whql.exe

They are version 56.72 (if you couldn't guess!).

One more thing, if you're overclocking, reduce the FSB to it's default value while troubleshooting. Ensure your memory is rated for the speed it is running at.
