I just upgraded my Motherboard, CPU and RAM only the PC no longer boots. Vista 64-bit crash's on boot and starts with a blue screen. The white text is on less then a second cannot read it. Safe mode crash's on load and the PC reboots.

My XP 64-bit OS harddisk loads up to windows but when ever I install the 3dcard the screen goes black on reboot plus a ton of other poblems like the chipset drivers will not install, unknown error. Safe mode always works.

Tried a XP repear CD went ok till the 3dcard install the screen flash's comes back then goes black. Vista CD cannot boot from crash's before get chance to chooe or even see options. Deleted windows XP OS and trying a install as I type this.

My first thoughts are a faulty 3dcard but it was working fine in the old PC. Cannot try a another 3Dcard for a few more hours till my bother brings his spare.Any other ideas?

EDIT reinstalled windows now the 3Dcard works and the chipset driver work but eveythings a funny colour. Washed out. Still playing.

EDIT2:Doesnt make much sence but installing SP2 has fixed all the colours
