I have another problem and once again need help.

I completed my build, started it up and installed Vista. All was well and I was making little adjustments - screen res, clock, etc - and then realized that I should take a step back and install drivers.

My first choice was for my MOBO. After the install was complete, I rebooted and that's where my problem is: It won't go past the Gigabyte start up screen. I can't select any other options either - it's as if my keyboard died at the same time (my mouse also). So I'm stuck on this start up screen.

All appeared fine until I put in the MOBO drivers - grrrr.

Here's what I have:

I tried re-booting and rebooting into "F8", both with no luck. I get a short bios beep on start up. If I could go back in time 1 hour, I would - and frisbee the Gigabye install disc.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance,

I don't think I'm on drugs or anything, but I started it up again (about the 7th time, BTW) and it works.

Beats the _____ out of me, but I'll take it.

Thanks anyway,
