So I have recently changed out my old crappy pc parts for new better ones. I changed from AMD to another AMD, and different motherboards. I wanted to keep my HDD since it has years of music that i've collected and graphic work I have made. I was delighted when I finally got my PC to start running. But was quickly met with another problem. It instantly booted me into the Bios, which I know nothing about so i just skipped past it and decided to boot normally. I instantly got Blue screened. So i then tried to boot it in the Startup Repair, which took nearly 20 minutes but I decided to wait it out. I was then met with a screen saying it couldnt find the problem and wanted to send information to microsoft. So i tried clicking 'Ok' just to find out my mouse wasnt appearing on the screen. I tried swapping it from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 but nothing is working. I cant reinstall windows either because it crashes in the 'Pick you language' screen. I'm literally stuck with the bios, which i have no clue how to use. Your help would really really mean a lot to me since i'm clueless. P.s Sorry for the bad grammar etc. I had to use my phone to make this. P.p.s If you need any more details just ask me

This is the drive with the OS on it?
And you're putting it into all new hardware?

It is not 'corrupt', it just needs a clean install. As is often the case with all new hardware.
Of course, this may kill off everything else on that drive.

Yes but every time I try to clean install windows it just freezes at the Select language screen. It doesnt show my mouse on the screen and my keyboard doesnt work either.

Yes i press F11 to go staright to the boot menu and then select my dvd player. It then goes through a process of 'Windows is loading files...' then puts me into the 'Select Language' menu as to where i can not click anything with my mouse or use my keyboard. I've tried plugging them into USB 3.0 & 2.0 But neither work. I must say though, when I get to the Select Language menu it is not full screen.

What is the full parts list in this new system?
This is sounding like a hardware fault, but NOT necessarily the HDD.
