Well depending on what it is that was upgraded, I'd put the old parts back in to make sure just to make sure it's the new parts that are causing this. However, it could just be as simple as a loose power cable or something so make sure everything is connected before tearing it apart as my friend built a computer and had symptoms like this and it turned out to be that he didn't plug his hard drive power cable all the way in.
