This checklist is a very good place to start:

My first guess would be that your old P965 motherboard doesn't support the E7400 at least without a BIOS update. It may not support it at all. I'll have to check MSI's website to see if they have a CPU support list posted. The P965 chipset is 2 generations old and was never intended to run the new 45nm chips.

My second guess would be a RAM problem since you're trying to run 4 sticks of RAM. Follow the steps in the checklist that deal with RAM.
