I recently bought a new Motherboard, gpu, cpu, and Ram. I am using the same HDD that I was using before. I am able to start it up, get into bios, startup repair and everything, but once I try to boot windows, it will restart right after the lights of the symbol start to light up.
I have tried using my old gpu, one stick of Ram, this thing: http://www.avoiderrors.net/how-to-fix-a-windows-7-infinite-reboot-loop/ but nothing seems to work.

The system repair says it can not fix the problem. Any ideas?


Specs:
Motherboard: asus m5a99fx pro r2.0

CPU: fx-4130

RAM: 8Gigs of Kingston Hyperx Blu 2 x 4gb

Video card: GTX 460

Hard drive: SEAGATE 1.5TB SATA2 7200RPM 32MB hard drive

Operating System: MICROSOFT Windows 7

Power supply: 500w

Hi

The usuall cause of this problem is the difference betweeen the Hard disk controllers on old & new motherboards

If you put the old motherboard on a table & connect up PSU screen, keyboard & mouse & hard disk it should boot up again. (google breadboard PC testing)

One Windows is up again uninstall sound drivers, any other drivers loaded by a program in add & remove programs.
Remove Hard disk controller drivers (device manager)
then shut down do not reboot

put hard disk onto new motherboard & try again

If you have a retail Windows 7 you will need to re activate Windows

run motherboard chipset drivers etc usually on motherboard driver disk

If you have a OEM or OEM System Builder version of Windows 7 it will need re activating...

What is the old board? Chances are mother board is too different from the old. Your old windows install is trying to load the old boards drivers and that is causing windows to crash and reboot. You can try to hit F8 to boot into safe mode and install the chipset INF or main board drivers for your new board, but I think its a long shot. You will need your original windows CD to do a repair installation. I would just do a clean install and start fresh. New CPU and board new windows install.

If you have a OEM or OEM System Builder version of Windows 7 it will need re activating and probably fail to re activate so you will need a new copy of Windows 7
