    Hi, I have a question for my PC. I just switched motherboards (but not CPU) and installed 8GB DDR3 RAM onto the new mother board which is a Gigabyte G41Mt-S2P. My motherboard seems to work fine but I just can't boot into Win 7. It shows blue screen of death right after the windows logo starts to come together on the Starting Windows screen.
    I've tried to start in safe mode and restore to previous dates/use the last known working config but nothing seems to work. I then formatted my hard drive and hope to do a clean install of Win 7. After going into BIOS to configure boot options, I restart MANY times and it always just sit there on the Boot from CD/DVD command. No "press any button to continue".
    Can someone help me here? I really don't know what to do and I probably tried 95% of the ways to fix this issue. Is anyone else or has anyone experiencing/experienced this issue before? Thanks

    First of all, Is this the same hard from the old motherboard ? Unless the Motherboard is a twin to the one you installed, then you will have to format and install a fresh copy of the OS..Did you go into the bio's and set the First boot to CD ? And when you install the Windows 7 setup disk, you should be hitting enter right when it first starts..

    Make sure you plugged in every power connection as well.

    usually you need to reinstall the OS after you changed the motherboard
