Recently i purchased a new MSI Gaming 5 mobo, and an intel i5 4690k, i completely assembled my new machine and turned it on, aaaand nothing. The new MSI bios shows up, the starting windows message shows up, and as the windows logo starts to move.... it freezes blue screens then goes to an error screen that says Windows error recovery. It gives me two options, attempt to boot again, or windows repair tool. Neither of these options work and im at a loss.
I know it has to do with the operating system being attached to my old mobo but I dont know what to do. My old mobo and processor was a stock HP Pavillion mobo and a sandy bridge i3-2130. Im not sure if going from SB to Haswell is the source of my problem someone please help.
Build:
Case: In Win Gt1 white
RAM: 12 Gigs of Kingston Hyper X Fury 1600
GPU: Geforce GTX 650
PSU: Raidmax 730 Watt RX-730SS
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1T
New mobo: MSI z97 Gaming 5
New CPU: Intel i5-4690k
 
Solution
My bad, sorry, try the 8GB in slot 1 and the 4 GB in slot 3 and might add + 0.05 to DRAM voltage if any problems, might help the DRAM balance out since they are mismatched size wise

I took my computer to a repair shop and had the owner remove a virous and he also put a new copy of windows on the drive. He never gave me the cd though, if I had that i think I could do a fresh install. Im trying to get the disc from him so I at least have that part covered.
Also, would doing a fresh install delete all of my data? I don't have an external HD to back up my data to.

How does the placement and voltage of the ram affect my ability to boot into windows?
Sorry kind of a newbie when it comes to software
