OS doesn't start, perhaps because of old MoBo drivers?

Greetings, fellow internet people. I'm new to the forum, so I hope I've posted in the right section.

To the point: I had a Gigabyte P67A-UD3P-B3 MoBo which broke. I got a new one, an MSI Z77A-G43. The problem is that Windows 7 won't start: it gets to the splash page and then reboots (safe mode is no use).
I've tried the "repair on startup" and the memory test, but to no avail. My main suspicion is that the old MoBo's drivers are interfering, so:

a) can I remove them from the command prompt that I get to open in the advanced repair section? If I can, what commands should I run (please be specific, because I'm not a programming genious)?

b) if a) is impossible, can i remove the drivers from inside Ubuntu (I'm running a dual boot)?

Thanks!

P.S. Should it be of use here is the result of the failed repair on startup:

I see... I've already backed up the most important stuff, but still, it would save me lots of trouble to be able to fix it.
Let's say that if, by this time tomorrow, noone has come up with anything I'll go ahead and format.

P.S. @Area51reopened thanks.
