after putting the new stuff together and into the case it powers up but that's all. no boot, posts etc. ran through the manual several times to double check every thing even took it all a part and put the old stuff back in and its doing the same thing now.

on a borrowed system at the moment.. Any help/Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I feel like an idiot now. Got it to boot, but when trying to load windows it causes a BSOD which goes by so fast I can't read it.

If you used an OEM version of Windows, you have to reinstall Windows when you change out the motherboard.
