It seems like your hardware doesn't support Windows 8.

It sounds like it's set for a different resolution than 1280x1024, probably higher, and thus failing. Reboot, push F8 to get the boot menu, and select either VGA mode or safe and check what the resolution is set to.

The Radeon X1600 generation was released in 2005 and 2006, and is ancient. There have been seven generations of AMD graphics cards since then. There have been no driver updates since 2010 (Catalyst 10.2). AMD does not support Windows 8 with this graphics card.
