Very serious problem w/ Vista! Need help quick

[Slam'n Systems]

EDIT:

Simple Notes as to what happened here.
-Replaced MOBO
-Didn't run Vista, kept rebooting
-Safe Mode wouldn't work
-Decided to format and reinstall
-Called Microsoft and re-activated

My original question was why, because we didnt really want to format one of the computers but all well

Nevermind,
Decided to just format it and reinstall, then called Microsoft and re-activated

The reason is this. Replacing mobo = new PC in Microsoft's eye. Plus the specs changed on your PC. So it wouldnt boot cause of the fact that there was a different chipset and everything else.

Either a repair install or a format and install are only options.

Weird, with XP I did it numerous times. All well, fresh installs are good things anyways And the Administrator is now gone

It happens more now with XP cause they revised the EULA to include the new mobo = new PC policy.
