[IEatHardDrives]

well code 10

Device failed to start. Click Update Driver to update the drivers for this device.

On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooting wizard.

Have you checked device manager for conflicts? What OS are you running?

another way of saying code 10

Code 10
If the device has a FailReasonString value in its hardware key, that string appears as the error message. The driver or enumerator puts this registry string value there. If there is no FailReasonString in the hardware key, you receive the following error message:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Im still looking for a solution

here are some possible answers for you.

check here.

also, i found this as well:

Code 23

The text displayed for this error code differs depending on the Circumstances.

If this device is a secondary display adapter and the primary display adapter was located, the following text is displayed:

This display adapter is functioning correctly. (Code 23)

The problem is with the main display adapter. To view the properties for the main display adapter, click Properties."

Solution button: Properties

If this device is a secondary display adapter and the primary display adapter cannot be located, the following text is displayed:

This display adapter is functioning correctly. (Code 23)

The problem is with the main display adapter. Fix the main display adapter, and then this display adapter will work.

Solution button: None

If this device is not a display adapter, the following text is displayed:

The loaders for this device cannot load the required drivers. (Code 23)

To update the device drivers, click Update Driver.

Solution button: Update Driver

This code means that the device loader delayed the start of a device and then did not inform Windows when it was ready to start the device.

To resolve this error code, verify the settings for the primary display adapter in Display properties. Try removing the primary and secondary display adapters from Device Manager, and then rebooting to allow Windows to re-enumerate these devices. Verify that the drivers are current and installed correctly.

For devices other than display adapters, follow the recommended solution. If that does not work, try removing the device from Device Manager and using the Add New Hardware wizard to redetect the device.

you just reinstalled windows correct. i'd say give it another try and if that don't work pitch that ATI card and get nVidia .
