[#0005ff]Sounds like a graphics issue. If you have more than one monitor plugged in, take one out. What make and model of graphics adapter do you have in there?[/#000ff]

Are you sure the system is trying to boot from the hard disk where you installed windows ?? Go to BIOS and check boot priority, set to hard disk and also check if you have more than one hard disk that the one with windows installed is the first one.
Sometimes boot devices get mixed up and system can't properly boot...
