Default Restart problem

I have a strange restart problem. If I select shutdown the computer will
shutdown like it's suppose to but if I select restart the monitor will lose the
video feed and the computer will just hang. I have to press the reset button
to get it to restart. Now here's the background information. I have an Antec
case with a 300 watt power supply. I have an Intel D875PBZ motherboard with
512 MB memory operating in dual channel mode. I have an Intel 2.6 GHz
processor with hyperthreading turned on. I have Maxtor 30 GB hard drive, a
sony cd-rom drive, and a basic floppy drive. I also have a Creative Labs
Soundblaster 16 pci sound card. When I first built the machine I installed a
cheap Nvidia 2 pci video card. I installed Windows XP on it and the machine
would restart fine until I decide to install the video drivers that came with
the video card. That's when the restart problem started occuring. I removed
the video drivers and went back to the XP drivers and the restart problem went
away. So I figured the problem was with the video card's drivers. I then
decided to remove the Nvidia card and replace it with an AGP card, an ATI
Radeon 9000. Once again the machine would restart normally with the XP drivers
but would hang during a restart after the ATI drivers were installed. The
other day I started the computer in safe mode so I could go into the security
settings and give myself permission to view the system volume information
folder and when I selected restart the computer restarted just fine. When I
got back into normal Windows I selected restart again to see what would happen
and the computer restarted just fine. When I shutdown the computer and turned
it off and then went back a few hours later the restart problem was back.
