Put the installation disk in downloaded the drivers FROM the disk and it required a restart.
This is where the fun begins
Now i cannot boot my computer at all it gives me BSOD all the time when i try to boot it up in safe mode or any type of mode just takes me to the BSOD or just restarts my computer.

this is one of the errors i get diffrent kinds but this is the most shown

STOP 0x0000007e 0xc0000005 0x8e559dc9 0x887a3bf8 0x887a38f4

What would happen if i do a clean install???

BTW it will not even let me get on to the desktop i really need help D:

The card is either incorrectly installed, or Faulty.

Remove the card, reactivate the on-board graphics. Does the problem go away?

Hi Shawn,

In addition to Norm's suggestion.

Normally would suggest going to Safe mode and uninstalling the drivers from there.

Since you can't do that, a reinstall should fix the problem.

If you have data you need to keep , you can save the contents of the drive/partition into a folder called Windows.old, which you can access after the reinstall.

To do that, follow the tutorial below - when you get to Step 10 , do not select Drive Options (advanced ), and do not format the partition - simply click on the partition to which you want to install. You should get the option to save the contents of that partition into a Windows.old folder.

You will need to reinstall all your apps. and Windows Updates, as usual.

Clean Install with a Full Version of Vista

You may like for the future to create another partition ( or better still, have another hd - external or internal ), onto which you can save an image of your installation once you have it all set up and updates.

You could then use bootable media to copy that image in case of future disasters.

There is an excellent free version of Macrium Reflect, which will let you do that and it can create a cd you can boot in from to restore your image when needed.
