Maybe the drivers are bad or mixed between new and old, try Driver Sweeper http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ and reinstall the latest drivers.
Also, if you made some oddball change to the BIOS or if you're 'trying' DirectX 11 on a DirectX 10 GPU...XP goes to 9, Vista 10.1, 7 up to 11 but don't use or install Direct X 11.
