Installed a new motherboard and CPU, but comp won't boot, suggestions?

[walnutw]

I just installed a with a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor with a MSI 790XT-G45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboardand for whatever reason I cant get it to load my windows. I did the BIOS setup etc, but always gives me an error message and a blue screen. Is it because i had an intel proc/motherboard and the drivers on my hard drive are interfering? help me please.

Which operating system? Windows has issues with swapping out a motherboard is the hardware is significantly different from what was in there.

No you don't stop spamming.
