Hello. Recently I decided I needed to upgrade my psu, case, and mobo. Installing all the hardware was not a problem but when I went to boot my computer I got an error on the motherboard, AB (Prepare BBS for Int 19 boot. Init MP tables.). That is what I need help fixing. On top of that, or maybe a part of that I don't know, it says that neither my HDD or the disc the mobo came with is the right drive to boot from. I should also note that the mobo recognizes my ram, hdd and DVD, cpu, and gpu.

When you buy your own copy of Windows 8.1 you can move it to another build when you are done with this one , but only one computer at a time.With Windows 8.1 you can change all the hardware you want including the motherboard.

OEM's such as DELL , HP etc. are locked to the bios of that board.
