Windows XP won't boot

Hi, I thought I'd put this out there to see if I'm missing something stupid before I take my computer back to the shop.
specs:
Intel E4300 Core Duo
1GB RAM
Nvidia 7950 GT 512MB video card
Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI motherboard
1 IDE 160GB HD
1 IDE 60GB HD
I just got my PC back from a local computer repair place, they installed a new MB, video card and CPU for me. It worked at their shop this afternoon, but when I try it here I can't get Windows to load. It goes through the post stuff, then the "Windows was not shut down properly" screen, and no matter what I pick the whole thing just reboots. If anyone has any ideas why it worked at the shop and not here I'd greatly appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

They didn't get it right.
Alternatively: Open it up and make sure all parts are installed and seated properly. Also check your MB screws, make sure they're tight to the case.
