Probably a sheer fluke that it did... the very 1st thing Windows Setup checks is Hardware Configuration.
Which could explain why you are getting BSOD's-- you may still need to flash your BIOS-- but I doubt it will fix the issue.

I also thought this until I read the following, but I still think other things need worked out before flashing the BIOS
"VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator or it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands" - this error message is just the diagnosis of a long list of possible problems, showing that your vga card had problems and it has been restarted. Unfortunately, there is no ultimate solution, the final tip that works for you depends on your own particular problem, therefore on the card, on your drivers, on your motherboard, etc. It can also happen, that there are several issues with your card, like it suffers both from insufficient heating and old motherboard BIOS.
VPU Recover is a feature unique to ATI, which saves you from a blue screen of death. When the VGA card stops responding to driver commands, VPU Recover resets the vga card, and turns you back to Windows. This allows you to save your work and safely reboot - a detailed description of VPU Recover can be found in the ATI white paper (see bottom link).
Personally... I would still want to reinstall... while the VPU recover is nice-- I feel it would lead to a much more stable, trouble-free PC in the long run.
I have not reinstalled XP in at least 3 years... BSOD's ? Haven't seen one of them either. Which is why I still have XP... and will for quite a while yet.
I will read it now, thanks you... well I know for a fact my GFX isn't overheating, its only 75 degrees Fahrenheit at the GPU, its cold as hell in my house and I have 1 120mm, and 3 80mms in my case :P
It does peak at about 90F under gaming stress though, but from what I have read that is really minimal
