I had the same problem, after an bios update. Please check your BIOS setting. Funnily enough, Windows XP is a plug and play operating system, but is has problems assigning an IRQ to the Geforce adaptor.

The only way around that is to let the BIOS assign an IRQ to the Grapghic board. You find these settings in the PNP/PCI section of your BIOS. My settings are
PNP OS: yes
ASSIGN VGA IRQ: enabled

This solved the problem.

I will post my findings as I will be removing all other hardward to try and figure this out...
