I've had problems with mine too. After installing the Catalyst drivers, it gets to the Windows splash screen and then my monitor goes to sleep. I wait. Then my system reboots and the cycle repeats.

Are you using a DVI LCD monitor? Once I connected the VGA output to something, then I was able to boot up into windows (I have both the DVI and VGA ports connected to my LCD). This happens with an nForce2 based board I just built last night.

With my KT-400 board, it did the same thing but it was unstable (kept freezing on me). Did a complete reinstall and I wasn't able to boot into windows even when I had both the VGA and DVI ports connected. It drove me crazy so I decided to build an nForce2 system to see if there was a problem between Via and ATI.

I'm hoping it will work okay in my nForce2 system I just built.
