I recently upgraded from:

Asus M3A
Athlon X2 3GHZ
6GB DDR2 Supertalent
GTX 470

TO:

Intel i5 2500k 3,3GHZ
Asus p8p67 deluxe
2x 2GB G.skill Ripjaws-x 1600
SLI GTX 470

The hard drive is the same,but i cant boot windows vista i'm getting BSOD and i cant see the error(reboot to fast).

How can i fix this?
Drastical hardware changed wont let me boot vista?
 
When you turn on your PC hit F8 to enter "Advance Boot Options" then choose "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and press Enter. Now when the bsod pops up it won't restart. :)
 
did you buy the computer whole or did you build it from scratch?
if you didn't build it from scratch then your Vista licence might be an OEM licence.
if that is the case then your Licence is now invalid and you have buy a new licence for another windows OS.
an OEM licence is invalid as soon as you change the motherboard and not transferrable to another system.
I had this happen to me after I upgraded my Mobo two months ago, (Vista begins to load then BSOD then restarts)
