Yup it was the video card allright, replaced it and it worked no
problem. Hope this info helps someone else out in the future.

I'm having a problem installing the 180 day evaluation version of
Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise. I start the installation, press F6
to install the RAID/Sata drivers, format the drive, it copies over the
files for 5 minutes, then right after the part where the first reboot
occurs, it shows the Windows 2003 logo with the progress bar about to
begin underneath for about 2 seconds, then it reboots itself again.
One time it showed the blue screen instead of rebooting.

Can anyone recommend what might be the problem? I did a bit of
searching and someone said video card, so I'm gonna try that next.

System specs:
Asus A8N-SLI
160gig SATA
4gb RAM

Thanks,
Martin
