Does the new GIGABYTE board need a video card?

I cannot get this board to allow me to reload WINDOWS.

Using the old install on the HDD it would go directly into cPLAY since that is how I left it and I was able to "see" what was happening.

I try to do a WINDOWS re-install, as recommended with a new board, and as soon as it gets to the point where it says INSTALLING WINDOWS I get the blue screen telling me I have a virus or something. Of course, this HDD has never been exposed to the internet.

Does this sound like a defective MB?

As I read the reviews at NEWEGG there seem to be lots of defective boards.

I am not using a video card. Is that what is causing my problem? Do I need a video card even though my monitor has images?

Any help given is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick McInnis
