Newly upgraded, won't load windows

We just upgraded one computer and it keeps getting to the boot menu but won't load past there normally or in safe mode, it just reboots. The motherboard is a K7N2 Delta2 and the processor is an Athlon XP 2500+. The video card was also upgraded to an MSI FX5200. Not sure what's causing this and any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
What was exactly upgraded?
Did you remove all the devices from within Windows before you physically installed the new devices? If not, you still have the old drivers from the components you planned on upgrading.
Put the computer back together the way it was before the upgrade and uninstall all the devices that are to be upgraded.

Yes, that was the question I was going to ask: What exactly did you upgrade? I had that problem one time after updating the BIOS. The only thing I could do was reinstall Windows. I don't remember though if it was a repair install, or a clean install.
