New Processor and Motherboard but can’t boot properly

I just replaced my processor and motherboard.
CPU: from Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80 GHz to Intel Core i5 4570 3.20 GHz
Motherboard: from Asus P7P55D LE to Asrock Z87 Pro3
Other PC Components: Video Card: Palit GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1 GB
RAM: 2 x 4 GB RipJaws F3-12800CL9D PSU: FSP Aurum Series 80+ GOLD 600w I was able to put all the parts properly. I made sure that I did not make a mistake on anything. When I try to boot from my Windows DVD installer, it goes to the setup and other tools. But when I try to boot normally without the CD, it won’t. I just get a quick blue screen. It goes to blue screen when the Windows logo start forming. Maybe around 1 to 2 sec when the colors of the logo start moving towards the center, it will give me a blue screen. I tried using Safe Mode, but it doesn’t work too. I can only reach until classpnp.sys.
Any clues on what I should do? I just really want to fix this now so I can use the PC. Thanks!

I’m afraid you need to do a fresh install..
Changing motherboards sometimes work if the hardware is closer..Especially the chipset..
I’m not sure what you mean by “it goes to the setup and other tools”
Possibly just your bios is not set to boot from CD/DVD first..

Oh sorry for the confusion. What I meant by that one is when you use the Windows DVD, you can use it for other stuff like Memory Diagnostic, System Repair, System Restore, those stuff. That’s what I meant with “other tools”. So I really need to do a fresh install huh. Thanks for the info sir!

If you really don’t want to do a clean install because maybe you got stuff on your hard drive that you need, but can’t access now, then it might be possible to do a Repair Install using your Windows disk, as shown here..

Answer #6
I recommend a fresh install as the existing drivers might cause you problems in the future..
But that’s up to you..
Obviously..You should backup any important data before proceeding if you have any..
Answer #7
one way of doing the way you planned is, on the original system, uninstall everything EXCEPT the mouse from the control pa,(don’t reboot) then install the drivers for the new motherboard, then shut down the system, and install the new motherboard. windows will find the correct drivers that way, and use THEM..
