Ok, here's the situation.

I baught a new graphics card yesterday, the ATI Radeon 9200. I checked the system requirements and apparently it fits. My specs incase you don't believe me:
P4 1.7GHz Proc
D845WN Intel Mother Board
1.256 GB of RAM
OS Windows XP

Ok, so I uninstall my old Nvidia Driver and install this bad boy. I shut down my computer, cracked it open, switched cards (plugged it in PROPERLY), boot up again, and when I run a game, I get the blue screen of death. It only lasts about 5 seconds before it restarts my computer.

Unfortunatley, I'm n00bish at the whole graphics card thing, so any information would be helpful.

Can you change the video settings in the game or does it crash as soon as it loads? I had this problem when I switched vid cards and the game was still using the old card or thought it was anyway. I went in and change the settings and had no more problems
 
The second I open World Of Warcraft it will prompt me with a little not asking me to change my default settings giving me an option between "Yes" and "No". Regardless of which one I click, I get BSOD, and rebooted. Counter Strike and other games are different, they just plain don't prompt me, and I get booted anyway!

Oh how I LOVE computers! >=(
 
So did you install the ATI drivers?
Before or after you put in your video card? (not sure if this matters.. but maybe)
 
Use a driver cleaner and start over again, but leave the sti card in the computer.
Lets hope you problem is just old drivers in the computer.

Did you use the drivers from the CD or downloaded the new ones?
