Hello,

Win7 64 pro
Gigabyte ga-970a-ud3 mobo
Amd phenom II 965 black edition @ 3.6 ghz
8 gig gskill ripjaw ddr3
Amd r9 280x
Standard hdd

Upgraded to:
Gigabyte g1.sniper z87
Intel i5 4760k

Swapped motherboard and processor out, everything looks reconnected correctly, memory is confirmed compatible with new board

All fans start up and it boots to bios, bios auto updated and I made sure settings in bios were correct for a boot, once I boot the windows logo flashes then instant bsod and restart.

Did system restore and it said it was successful but it again insta blue screens

This is my first time swapping mobo/CPU and assumed I could do it without a format....any tips or ideas to get this fixed?

Thanks in advance
 
I agree with the above, but for shits and giggles have you tried booting into safemode and installing all your mobo drivers? It 'might' work, but prepare yourself for a format/reinstall in the meantime.

Good Luck!
 
I've done this several times, but only successfully by uninstalling every driver and going back to the standard Windows drivers before doing the swap. Honestly, it is more work than a wipe and reinstall which will also make Windows run so much faster without all the built-up crud.

If it will still boot on the original system, you also could use backup software with a redeploy function (such as Macrium Reflect Pro or Acronis True Image) to allow restoring a system backup to dissimilar hardware.

One thing you can check is to make sure you have your SATA settings right to match the old board (i.e. try to boot using both AHCI and IDE legacy modes in the UEFI BIOS).
