Drivers keep going missing

A friend of mine bought a new case for his computer and after he transfered all his hardware into the new case, both his sound card and his video card don't work correctly.
His sound card now loses its driverson every reboot
and
his video card will install the drivers and display 2D just fine, but will not display anything in 3D, opengl or Direct3D
No hardware or software changes were made, all he did was transfer the components into this new case.
I looked over his hardware install and everything seems fine, the cards are seated properly, and there is nothing grounding to the box. This is a new one on me, it's obviosly related the the transfer over, but how?
His specs, as best I can remember right now are:
Athlon 1.4Ghz
Gigabyte GA-7VTXE+ (kt266a)
512 Mb PC2100
Sound is a Hercules Fortissimo II
Video is a Hercules Kyro2 64Mb
I'm not sure about the hard drives.
Any info you guy might have would be great. I've exhausted all I know.
Oops, forgot. He's running Win2k Pro sp2, and we've tried all types of driver versions.

Hey, thanks Uykucu, don't worry about it. I'm glad you've stuck with me as far as you have. I'm gonna give up too.
The tech at the shop said he thinks the mobo is fried, and I suppose anything's possible. Oh well. I'm glad you helped as much as you did. This guy has the worst luck with computers, I'm telling you, it's spooky.
