Windows Display/driver Boot up problems

Hi All, haven't been here in a while, but really need a lot of help.
I have a Computer that will not boot into windows when a display driver is installed.
I have a completely fresh install of XP and everything loads up fine without any installed driver for the MSI K9n6sgm-v motherboard - everything is onboard. Everytime I restart it will always come to the desktop. If i install all driver except for the display adapter - it boots to the desktop fine. Once i install drivers for the display adapter, either the latest drivers, or drivers that come on the CD - once it restarts, it starts to load windows then a black screen - i suspect it has frozen up as there is no windows loading sounds.
The same thing also happens when i try loading Vista, once the display driver is installed it just boots up to a black screen.

I also tried a proper graphics card that i know works - the same thing again happens.
I can boot to safe mode and remove the driver in which case it boot s to desktop with low resolution. also booting with vga mode gives low resolution.
I have tried 2 other monitors and the same thing always happens.

I am completely out of Ideas so any help would be great.

Liam
