I recently replaced a ATI 6870 with a GTX 670 and am no longer able to access windows from my primary hard drive.

As Windows begins to load there is a blue screen which is rapidly gone and the computer restarts.

I was able to use a new hard drive and install Windows and the computer works fine which suggests there is no hardware problem. I installed the old hard drive and can access the files but cant boot from it.

Is this likely a video card driver problem? is there anyway I can change the drivers without booting from it? any ideas on any other possible problems that could be solved?

1) What OS are you using? 2) Will it start in safe mode? – CharlieRB May 25 '12 at 17:53
