Hey, sorry for the long post this might be, but I'm having a very frustrating problem right now.

Today I replace my old dell motherboard and CPU with a new MSI b85-m p-33 motherboard and i7 4770k CPU. I know all the wiring is correct and all that, but on start-up it will get halfway through the windows logo and freeze for half a second, flash a bluescreen and then restart. I've tried changing the SATA mode to IDE instead of AHCI, but no dice. I'm really lost here, can somebody point me in the right direction please?

I think he try to boot old windows install...
Change back the S-ATA settings to AHCI as itself cause windows not to boot properly.

What version do you have?
XP: press F8 and choose last known good configuration then install new motherboard drivers?
Windows7: choose to repair windows...

OR BETTER: REINSTALL WINDOWS to have good motherboard drivers!
