So I recently upgraded my PC with a new motherboard, RAM and CPU

I have left everything else the same - GFX card, HDD's and PSU (As far as I know it's not a power issue but don't dismiss it)

So I installed everything, pretty sure all the wiring is correct and I have a green light on the motherboard indicating there is power. When I press the power button on the front of the PC it will turn, the CPU LED light will flash twice, then it will wait about 2-3 seconds flash again and the system shuts down. https://vimeo.com/128021075

However, when I press MEMOK! button at the top right of the motherboard, it all boots up and loads into BIOS, I then proceed to choose my boot drive and windows begins to load, this is where I come into an issue; for some reason windows is corrupt and needs repairing, so I go through the motion of doing startup repair and it will freeze at a point and become completely unresponsive. I have gotten to the end and displayed "Unable to boot, Problem signature "Startup repair offline" 6.1.7600.16385"

So I'm really confused as to what is going on - it can post, and tries to boot windows, but there must be an error with windows files, but only I if press the MEMOK! button on the mobo itself.

ASUS P5Q and 4Gb DDR2 GeIL Black Dragon

I'm going from Intel to AMD, but this shouldn't be a problem as far as I know.
