Did you install a fresh copy of Windows? It is compulsory to install a fresh copy of windows if you change motherboard. You can skip it if you upgrade CPU, graphic card or add more RAM, but it is something I would recommend.

okay, so if you want us to try and give you a solution then be a bit more specific please and "define", "i upgraded my PSU and MB".
1. Did you reinstall Windows? it is stronlgly recommended when you upgrade your MB to reinstall Windows.
2. if you didnt take step 1, then you atleast tried to uninstall the old drivers (mobo drivers/chipset and video drivers) and isntall new ones?
