Soo I bought a new pc case. One big enough to place this infernal motherboard within. I install everything correctly. Boots to bios. I try starting windows normally (windows 7) but was thrown a blue screen.

In short my new motherboard would display and now it doesnt
 


But was the operating system installed when you were using this motherboard or was it installed with your old motherboard?

What are your system specs?

2 sticks 3gb ram. Stock
Temperon 2.7gh 1 core
500gb hard drive
windows 7 32bit
amd radeon hd 5670 2gb
No on board graphics
all my stuff is carried over from the old motherboard.
 


Well it seems we have found your problem. Every motherboard model has different drivers and the system crashes because your drivers don't match the motherboard. You're going to have to re-install Windows, but that'll wipe the entire HDD so be sure to make backups of important files.

Do you have an install disc for Windows? Also, is your Windows the OEM or retail version? (If it came with a pre-built PC it's OEM).

It would OEM as most of everything came woth a pre-built up computer. So the reason why my motherboard no longer displays (except the first few times) is because of a driver conflict? How do I go about wiping the hard drive?
 


You are going to have to get a new copy of Windows because the OEM license was tied to your old motherboard. The HDD will be wiped automatically when you re-install Windows.

You could also try calling Microsoft and see if they would re-activate the product key.
