New rig - BSOD at windows startup

[dpk33]

Hey guys, so I recently just installed an i7 2600k and a Asus P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 into my rig in my sig, replacing the old Phenom II x4 and 790FXT-UD5P. I've been getting weird BSODs at startup now. I can NOT get into Windows no matter what I try. The Windows is starting animation plays, and then it goes to a black screen. Before I can see my cursor, it BSODs. I heard that you have to reinstall windows when you get a new cpu and motherboard so is that the problem?

Yes you do.

Yes you do.

How come I didn't need to reinstall windows when I went from a Core 2 Duo E6600 and Abit IP35e to a Phenom II x4 and 790FXT-UD5P?

Same chipset

Its the motherboard chipset that typically gives you fits. Change cpu all you want, but change the mobo and you "usually" need a reload or repair
