The system freeze after installing the display driver. It is an onboard display(ProSavage8 3D Graphic DDR).
What I can do now is run in 16 colors(640X480) and the system is running fine.
I have tried to use update the drivers and even the chip set driver. But it still not works.
Anyone meet the same problem as me? Any suggestion? Thanks.

restart the computer and hold down the "ctrl" key while the computer is booting up. choose safe mode and then go to the control panel and choose "system" and then to "device manager." double click the computer icon and chekc what devices are using the same irq. I would then back out of this and find one of the devices you saw that was using the same irq as your display driver and double click it to see its properties. choose "disable in this hardware profile" then reboot. Keep doing this for the sound, nic, or modem. eventually you will find the conflicting device. You can sometimes change which irq a device is useing in safe mode while in device manager. double click, lets say the nic card and go to the resources tab and then uncheck the "use automatic setting" box and click on the irq text and then click "change settings".
