Problems booting up Windows

[Wallace]

I'm struggling with booting up Windows XP- it basically gets as far as the
black screen just after the black Windows logo screen and then just dies
without an error message. If I deactivate my NVIDIA 7300 video card, then it
boots up O.K. Now I've managed to swap the video card with a second one and
the same problem appears (and disappears if I deactivate the driver as
above).

A previous post suggested
"If your motherboard has built in graphics as well as the GeForce card you
may want to check to verify that the built in graphics on the motherboard is
disabled."

Not sure how I check this, though there is only one device in the Hardware
Device Manager under Display Adapters.

Any other suggestions?

How you deactivate depends on your motherboard, some do it automatically if
they detect a vid.card, others have an option in the bios
