Replaced motherboard in HP a6514f
O.K. received my recommended replacement MOBO Intel DG41RQI. Fit in nicely though I had to slightly stretch some of the wiring to accommodate the different placements on the new board.
Powered up and get a short beep and display screen that allows me to go to bios or choose a boot option. If I choose bios I get to go there ( more on that *) but if I choose any boot option HD, DVD drive etc. the computer powers down leaving only the led on the mobo lit.
Everything seems seated properly. Fans are on. Temperatures are within respectful limits and it will sit on the bios pages for unlimited time without powering down.
Not sure where to go from here.
I am currently attempting to use the HD and OS ( vista ) as it was but with a different MOBO. Other panels have claimed that it is perfectly capable of being done and I prefer it if possible.
*BIOS screen comes up and gives me bios code RQG411OH.86A.0013.2009.1223.1136
and recognizes my memory sticks and system as E 2180 @ 2GHZ w Bus & Mem Speed of 800MHZ
Lets me switch through and control the various pages using the keyboard including checking fan speeds, temp etc. but from here on I'm a noob and completely stuck.
Any idea's?

I'm running Vista Ult. ( bought separately ) so I don't think I should encounter the need to reinstall as I would with the factory HP version. I may be wrong there but I hope not. If so I'll likely install a new hard drive since I don't want to lose what's on this one until I can extract the files I need.
