I just upgraded from an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 + i7 920 to an Asus z87-Deluxe + 4770k but have come across 1 problem.

I am unable to boot into windows successfully... I get to the startup repair/start normally choice. I can get into the startup repair fine but it doesn't see any windows installations at all and I can't do a system restore as a result.

If I select start normally I see the starting animation for about 2 seconds and the a very quick bsod.

anyone have any insight on how to solve this?

EDIT: I just realized I should have put this in the Troubleshooting forum. :-(

Re-install Windows. That is the only solution.

You could try putting in the Windows Disk and doing a system repair, might be better just to back-up data and do a re-install, though.

If you switched the motherboard and CPU without doing a clean install then you will have to.

Windows repair with install dvd might work but thats big jump between chipsets. When changing mobo its always easiers to do it the hard way.
