    Can you clarify what you installed?
    Did you download the firmware from Abit and use their tools to flash it?

    You might find that flashing your BIOS has reset the settings to factory default. You might want to check that the correct hard drive is set to boot from.

    If the above is correct, you might want to try pressing F8 just before Vista bottoms out and choose "last known good configuration".
