Hey
i've just got my motherboard replaced and also got a new AGP card. And i've been having problems with my compu ever since.
My config is:
1.8Ghz P4 256kb L2 400FSB
My AGP card is:
256mb FX5500 nvidia
My motherboard is:
MORA P4M266A
Ever since a got the mother board i'm having the follwing problems:
1. The system boots normally but midway during operation it freezes(nothing responds) and when i restart it there is no display, the sys does not boot and on repeated tries nothing happens. The CPU fan however runs and the power LED is also always on. Then again sometime later it starts up on its own.
2. Recently the sys boots up normally but it freezes at anytime. 3 or 4 times the sys has frozen in the middle of BIOS setup. I try to change the settings to EGA but in the middle it freezes.

It is possible that this is a timing issue between the Ram and the new motherboard, but there are so many things that could cause this given what you said. If you could inform us how the "upgrade" took place and what was done, this would be more helpful than articulating the symptoms of what the computer is now doing.
It sounds like you kept all your peripherals and just put in a new motherboard and video card. If you are using XP, the motherboard replacement will cause the OS to go south since it will not be expecting the motherboard it finds. In fact, more often than not, it won't boot at all without a clean install of XP with something as major as a new motherboard, and this is complicated with the fact that your XP product was registered along with your previous hardware which will make you have to call Microsoft and re-register the product.
