I upgraded CPU, RAM, MOBO, and added an HDD and win7 crashes

[angrypig7]

Just as the title. I upgraded the CPU from E5200 to I3-4160,

RAM from DDR2 3GB(1+2) to DDR3 8GB(8x1), changed the MOBO from ASUS motherboard with 775 socket to MSI H81MP33

and added an WD Blue 500GB hard drive(I'm sure I didn't have to write the last one ).

And on the first boot, Windows 7 detected new CPU and RAM and asked me if I wanted to configure the new setup.

At that time I plugged my keyboard into an USB 3.0 port and didn't respond, so I plugged into a 2.0 port. And after I plugged my keyboard into a 2.0 port, I saw Windows logo booting up

and saw it crashing.

Should I go for a clean Windows install? What bothers me is that this is not my computer, so that's the problem.

 

Any suggestions what to do?? I'm freaking out right now...

Always do a reinstall when changing motherboards.

Saves headaches and problems.

You COULD remove all drivers (safe mode if need be) (motherboard/chipset drivers n such) and then restart and then install the new drivers, but I'd rather re-install.

 

Whether its your PC or not, does not matter, it has to be done anyway.

 

Windows will startup REQUIRING certain hardware/software configs/registry/software links that the drivers are attached to, when that fails it can cause Windows to not boot and just give blue-screens.

So just do a reinstall.

Yes happend to me, i changed my mobo and started on bootup it stucked. Clean install is the solution.

See if your SATA mode is on AHCI, if not set it to AHCI inthe BIOS

Moreover, since it's a new motherboard my guess is that Win7 didn't detect the same socket as your previous motherboard, wanting you to format(aka must be the same model) But first check if it's on AHCI then make assumptions.

@angrypig7 Hi there, I suggest reinstalling Windows like @SkilledRebuilds said. If you need to get data from it there are some free tools. HDClone for example that you can copy files from to an external device.

I guess a clean install is the only way. At least I added another HDD so maybe I can install windows on that one.

But guys, I spotted another problem(?)

When I boot up into the bios, the MSI's BIOS would show me the mobo and CPU temperature. even at just bios,

the CPU is at about 45~46. Is that normal for a CPU with 54W of TDP??

In the bios it may not be getting used USAGE wise however it's prob not declocking yet, and is prob at its non-turbo base clock the entire time.

If you change chipset you have to do a clean install, no other way around it.
