Doing an "upgrade" install is a complete install and not an upgrade as it is called. It's a misnomer and shouldn't be called that. The only difference is that the "upgrade" version wants proof that you have a previous version of Windows. You do this by inserting the aforementioned CD and remove it. No data is taken from it, it's merely a validation check. Then continue with your format/install.
Back to the point, it almost sounds like a video driver issue as the Windows default driver has given me the same symptom on my last install. The problem went away after installing the latest video drivers.
