You did the right thing but when you install Windows it formatted the harddrive.
When it install the graphic on your laptop, it didn't have the proper driver for the screen.
Look for a system recovery disc or a driver CD and install the drivers for the graphic card.
Go online to the vendor website that sold your laptop and find the graphic card driver according to the model.
