Windows 7 graphics card error

I got Windows 7 up and running ok a few days ago using a Nvidia 8800gts graphics
card but then I changed to an Asus Nvidia 9800 gt in order to be hdcp compliant.
As soon as I applied the latest Nvidia driver Win 7 never got past the boot screen
I realised that the same driver gave me an error in Vista so I tried the cd driver
and that worked great.
I had a go at installing Win7 again with the cd driver but the same problem happens
every time. The pc restarts while installing Win 7 and shows the colourful logo but
goes into a black screen and appears to hang with nothing on the screen but the logo
on the bottom right hand corner. I've tried going into safe mode and it tries to
carry on with setting up with Windows 7 but then tells me installation cannot be
completed in safe mode.
I had the latest graphics driver running ok in Windows 7 with my 8800 gts, is my
problem due to a bad graphics card? I have Windows 7 preordered, I would really like
to be able to get it up and running.

Not sure what you mean installing Windows 7 from the Safemode. Have you tried a Clean
Install of 7 by deleting the old Partition, and formatting.

Did you uninstall the drivers and any software utilities for the 8800 then set it
to standard VGA 640 x 480 mode before you replaced it with the 9800 ?
Cheers HC
