Ralf,

Thanks for the suggestions.  However, their are some issues with the 
Asus MB and they recommend setting the IRQ to a legacy device.  It still 
isn't working.  As for the boot up process, Windows does not give me an 
option to "cancel" this process.  It will lock up without any way to 
disable.

My only option is to boot into safe mode and disable the SB Live Value 
card there.  On the Athlonmb.com website there are any references to 
problems with video and sound cards with possibly a problem within a VIA 
chip.

I'm hoping someone has discovered the "fix" for this.

Thanks again,

Homer
