Just do a clean install without reformatting the hard-drive. A repair or a nondestructive install take about the same time anyway. A Windows OS installed on a 400GB hard-drive is a bad set-up in the first place. You should have a small cheep hard-drive for the OS and use the 400GB for storage. The way windows constantly calls on the hard-drive, will only ware it out before it's time.
I agree with the persons who suggested to re-seat and reset the video-cards. Using just one card till you are sure the system is configured properly. Double check your motherboards forum or documentation for any jumpers that may need to be moved. I have to move a large jumper when switching from single to SLI mode.
I would also revert back to the drivers that shipped with the video-card and run dxdiag to make sure directx is installed properly.
Or maybe this would be a good time to borrow a Linux distribution disk from a fellow student.
