So I just upgraded my old motherboard and processor to an intel from an AMD. I finished installing everything in the case and plugged everything in, but when I start up the computer it goes to the windows loading screen for about 2 seconds then crashes and restarts. I can go into bios just fine, and can even go into system recovery and do all those options. None of them effected it and it says it can't detect any error. Dr.Debug is reading codes, a2, 99, and 62. I've spent the last four hours searching forums and trying peoples suggestions. I've tried it with 1 ram stick once in every slot. I tried different video ports even though it doesn't seem video related. I unplugged every usb cable to see if it was having problems with those drivers, but nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't done is check the cpu pins, but bios is reading it just fine, and it's running at 32c. Ive built two computers before but I haven't ever had any problems after installation. Unless anyone has any suggestions I'll take out the whole thing and run it without the case as a last resort.

Edit: I'm a bit nooby with that. I have the disk in the cd drive, but it doesn't prompt me to reinstall at anypoint. Do I need to hit a button post bios?. Also that won't delete all the files will it? I've never had to reinstall windows actually.
I switched to IDE. It got a lot further into the windows boot and I actually thought it was going to work then it crashed again. I guess thats progress... DR debug gave the same errors but also gave 4F as well.
Update: Now I'm getting A6 SCSI detect too.
Update: Turns out I was stupid and only switched one of the configurations to IDE. I switched them both over and now it loads properly. Only it booted up in 800 x 600 and I nearly threw up. I had 1440 x 900 before and now it goes up to 1600 x 1200? I didn't change my monitor or graphics card. (Yeah 1440 sucks too) (NVM I need the video drivers whoops)
Anyway important question is can I continue to run it in IDE or should I use this opportunity to transfer all my important files over to an external drive and then reinstall windows completely? Or install the drivers and try to boot it back up in the original setting? I'm going to be hosting an Arma 3 server for my friends so I sorta need the best performance I can get.
I'm not sure if this is going off my own topic now, but my CD drive is an older IDE disk drive from 2008. But my hardrive is a recent sata drive and the asrock doesn't even have any IDE slots. So where the heck do I plug my disk drives into? Otheriwse I can't read the windows disk to reinstall, or the driver disk. Do I need to buy a new disk drive?
Resolved!
I bought a new Sata disk drive, the other one was an IDE and it wouldn't work with my motherboard. I backed up my files on an external harddrive and reformatted. So the main problem was all the drivers were AMD based instead of intel.
Thanks for all your help guys.
