Go to solution Solved by loccilucas,

Ok, what sort of re installation does this involve? is it a big job and I'd need to do a fresh install on OS, and if not what about the old Mobo drivers, have to uninstall them individually? 

no you don't need to uninstall the old drivers. Basically what I did was:

1.turn off the PC

2.Change the mobo

3.turn on PC and re-install OS onto my SSD

4.delete old windows.
