I just put in my NF7-S v2. I had a A7N8X Deluxe. I didnt reformat. Its running fine except the red light and the green light on the mobo are lit up and i cant install my video drivers. I can only run in safe mode cause if i boot in regular mode it freezes.

This is the first error i get : http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/123413/severe.JPG

And this is the second : http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/123413/severe2.JPG

Anyone help me out? What does the red light mean and how can i get my video working?

The red light on the motherboard just means that it's getting power and it can be lit even when the computer isn't running.

If you can get to safe mode clean out any video drivers using Device Manager.

Is the video error the only driver error or are other components acting up too?

well im running MSN and IRC right now in safe mode. So i guess its just the video drivers. I thought jut the green light is suppose to be on, on the mobo not the red.

EDIT : Oh and i dont have any old video drivers on here right now

Sorry man looks like I'm not gonna be much help. I looked around Google with those messages from your first post and couldn't come up with a helpful answer. Maybe try Omega's drivers if you're using ATI's or vice versa.

About the lights, the red should be on when the mobo has power and the green should come on when the system is running.

BUMP!

It's very likely that this is the case. Whenever I switched motherboards without reformatting, I had similar problems.
Formatting will most likely fix your video driver issues.
