Dodgy nVidia drivers.

Hi.
Can anyone help me with this:
Ive got myself 2x nVidia video cards for my workstation here at work. The other day, windows (XP) kept crashing on the splash screen at boot.
After removing the drivers, it'd boot fine.
Now, initially, i thought that the problem was that i did have an ATI card in there, and that DriverCleaner didnt get rid of everything.
So i nuked my workstation, used nLite to make a XP CD with all my neede drivers on, and away i went.
Booted the first 2-3 boots fine.
Then the same problem started happening again. Ive tryed the latest 70something drivers off the nVidia website, and the gigabyte ones off the CD (v163 iirc), and the drivers off the HP CD.
All still have this problem.

Video cards are:
Gigabyte PCI-E x16 8500GT 256Mb
HP PCI-E x1 8400GT 265Mb
Mobo is Intel DG965WH

Anyone got any ideas?
