If you swapped motherboards, it's likely you need to reinstall Windows 7. The old install has drivers and registry settings that are looking for the old hardware (motherboard). While a repair may work, your best bet would be to install fresh.

Do a WIndows Repair INstall from the Windows Install DVD.

Karsten75 :

Running Windows repair gives the message that it cannot fix the problem.

Unable to reinstall Windows 7 via CD as my CD drive is not being recognized.

Replace the PSU before it takes out other components.

Raidmax is the worst on the market.

I will replace it this weekend.
