Problems booting up Windows XP

Could anyone suggest what's wrong with my 1 year, 1 day old desktop, other
than out-of-warranty-syndrome?
It refuses to boot up - in fact it gets as far as the black screen just
before it goes blue with the words "welcome" in the boot-up sequence and
just dies- the monitor even powers down! If I disable the video card then I
can boot up O.K.
I've tried everything I can think of, like reinstalling the video driver
plus updated versions of the driver. I've also bought a new video card,
uninstalled the driver and reinstalling them (clean install)without success
plus restored the system to earlier system points. I even have XP reinstall
discs from Dell, but these don't reinstall XP for some strange reason.
User forums suggested the BIOS settings, though I can't see anything wrong
here- the BIOS is set up to use the PCI-X card I have.
I've also done at disk check which hasn't thrown up anything!
I am near to trying out Plan B, which primarily involves throwing the
computer out the window!
