RAM may be the problem
When you install Vista, remove 2GB of your RAM. Vista has documented problems installing with more than 2GB of RAM. After you install Vista, reinstall the rest of your RAM.

Interface is most important
As long as the interface on the video card (PCI, AGP, PCI-Express) matches the interface on your motherboard, it should work fine. The only difficulty you may have is because you are upgrading from...

Do all of the other system fans continue to run or do they shut down as well? Try hooking the CPU fan up to another fan header on the motherboard or hook the fan directly to a molex connector (with...

1069 is exactly right.
Unless the new hardware exactly matches the old hardware, Windows will not boot.

Backup & reinstall?
I'm not convinced you need a total reinstall, but a backup is never a bad idea.

Video card
The RV370 is an ATI video card and it would appear to have a problem. I would try removing and reinstalling your video card. If this does not fix your error, you probably need a new video card.

It sounds like your video card is no longer capable of properly outputting a resolution above 640x480.
