Default boot up problems with fx5950

At the end of Widows 2000 start up, just before the desk top appears,
the screen goes dark, then some moving structures come and go. Windows
hangs, power buttom is not effective, need to switch off the power
supply.
After a few power cycles, the system starts up ok; however, I dont
have sound!
Any ideas around?
I had the latest mobo bios and fx5950 driver downloaded!

System: newly built:
Mobo: NF7-S, version 2
Ram: mushkin 1GB
CPU: athlon 3200xp
graphics: xfx fx5950
Windows 2000, SP4

Athlon 3200xp + 1GB RAM + FX5950 = one power hungry computer. Nice..., but do you have a suitable PSU?
