Hi there, I just put in a new motherboard (ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3) and plugged in all of my new and old hardware - (R9 280X, FX 6350, 8GB ram ect.). When starting the PC, it loaded the BIOS and started to load Windows 7, when suddenly it stopped, and showed me a bios screen where I could either start System Repair, or start Windows normally. When I start Windows normally, the PC restarts, and repeats, and when I select System repair, the PC cannot solve the issue.
I installed the new MB drivers prior to the switch, so I can't seem to see what the problem would be.
Help?

As Foxcon makes many OEM boards, that may be your problem, most OEM's (HP, Dell, etc) tie the OS to the original motherboard, if you change the motherboard (to a different model) the OS will not run.

Ok, I'll just partition the drive and install a new Windows onto the partition. Thanks for the info.
