AV software can do this if it's broken...

Actually, you might find that a number of the drivers are not from
Microsoft, especially if you let it check online for updated drivers;
it'll often fetch manufacturer drivers. Chipset drivers, for example,
are almost always from Intel, AMD, Via, SIS, etc. Since you say that
it's a Via system, you might check on the Soyo (www.soyo.com) or Via
(www.via.com.tw) sites to see if there are drivers for the CPU,
chipset, etc.

Take a look at Driver Magician (www.drivermagician.com). It's a driver
backup program, and it lists all of the drivers and their
manufacturers. You can also try Autoruns from SysInternals (now part
of Microsoft)
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/Autoruns.mspx),
although Driver Magician will probably be better for the purpose. I'm
sure that there are other programs which can show this information,
but these are the only two that I can think of at the moment which
will do so in a single list.

Since it happens in Safe Mode also, that significantly reduces the
number of possibilities.

Was this system working before?  If not used in a while, this may be a
hardware problem.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
