None at all.. It'll just get stuck at the Windows start up logo.

Try to access the system in safe-mode (usually f8 at the startup). If that works, back up all the data and get ready for a reformat. Maybe you can just use system restore if you're very lucky. Tell me if safe mode works, and if it does, maybe print out a Hijack this log. Cheers.

I finally got around to installing the Ethernet card. But here's another issue I found, the computer won't start up anymore. It'll just load up to the Windows logo and stops there. Any ideas?

go to system BIOS and disable the built-in NIC.

I don't think software is the problem here.. Must be the hardware 'cause removing the new Ethernet card will allow the system to boot up completely.

Yea, I tried that. Sometimes, I'll just get a blank screen..

move the new NIC to a different PCI slot.

It could be the mobo. Is there an extra PCI slot? If so, have you tried putting your Ethernet card in it?
