Here's what's happening.

I havent been using hardware RAID on my motherboard, but since I got new disks today I changed from normal SATA to RAID and rebooted.

I set up the RAID, three disks, one of them for the OS, the two other RAIDED as one. Rebooted.

The Windows Server 2003 loading-logo shows up for a second and then, it hasn't even faded in completely, I get a blue screen, which lasts for 0.5 sec and then the computer auto-reboots and does the same thing again forever.

I thought this RAID stuff should be handled automatically by the hardware but seems like WinServer2003 is missing somehing.

If I change back to not using RAID but normal SATA mode I can boot back into the OS again.

What the hell should I do to not get the BSOD??

You need to set the registry values accordingly. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976#method1 for detail. Essentially, the 'Start' values for 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV

should be set to 0.

Registry Value

Use caution when changing registry values as an incorrect setting could cause further problems.
