Reserve an IRQ in bios if your MB will let you. Then boot into safe mode. Go to device manager and set the video card to use that IRQ. reboot to ensure the video is still working.

This should work. i have rearranged IRQ's in WinXP in safemode before but you cant alter them in normal mode.

After you have verified that it will boot properly, try adding the sound card.

Alternatively you might want to try adding the sound card in a different PCI slot. this should in theory force the box to try to assign it a different IRQ.
