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...

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

Backup & reinstall?

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.

Formatting
It is possible to take files off of the hard drive before formatting, but you have to do it yourself before you try to format. I would have a friend help you hook it up to their computer to get the...

Programmers
The error was most certainly a buggy program. You're right, no program should lay blanket claim to a particular section of memory, but that's not always avoidable, depending on what the program is...

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