Yesterday I changed my mobo cuz I wanted to upgrade my gpu, I bought a b75m-d3h, installed into my case and get the system to boot, reinstalled windows and when I was reinstalling software and such I went into the windows.old carpet into steam carpet and clicked the laucher, windows asked me for admin privileges and I clicked accept and after that the computer died for a second, went back on but with no display on my monitor, and now when I turn it on won't give display at all.
Any help would be appreciated

You can't run applications from Windows.old.
Reinstall the steam client with your new OS.

Possibly you can extract the games from the steamapps folder that lives in windows.old. Move those elsewhere, and point your new Steam client at that new location.

Connected to onboard dvi and It gave me no display as well, I also removed the battery of the mobo for couple of minutes, put it back in and still no display

Went today to the gigabyte service center and it turned out that the motherboard is faulty, maybe it came like this from the fabric, so they are giving me a new one tomorrow.
Thanks a lot everyone.

LOL autocorrect I presume.
Glad you got it sorted. Motherboard was my second guess after GPU
