Freeze booting up, when the blocks are going accross the screen. I search everywhere trying to find a different driver (off Gigabytes website also) and they all do the same thing. So I hard reboot and do last known good config, which lets me get back into windows. Okay great, I install it and on the next boot with the blocks loading on the windows xp screen it just stops all of a sudden.

Everything is running fine and I'm proceeding to install all my drivers and software. I have to find a driver to download and use the floppy to get XP installed, great. According to the deatiled spec's it's using a Silicon Image sil3512 controller.
