can you boot into safe mode? if you can, do so, and uninstall everything in device manager and cross your fingers. Expect to have to reinstall to get a smoothly working system.

Ok. The issue with using a new motherboard from a different manufacturer is that Windows does not like move between them. I would return that Gigabyte board and purchase an HP motherboard that is an exact duplicate of the one you have now. Your old motherboard should have a model number listed on it as well. If you can find it could you post it?

This motherboard power design is 6 pin molex connector and this smps cannot fit onto other motherboard.

It is a old motherboard H61 board, and it is manufacture in the year 2012. No scope to buy same design motherboard by Hp..

If you can not locate the board as a replacement then you’re in a hard place. Replacing a proprietary board with it’s own power delivery system would be impossible with a standard motherboard. If you can find another HP 8100 for sale then I would say buy it and swap out the hard drives.

on the old hp mb is a service part number google that part number. to see if the mb is out there. the hp restore disk and windows wont boot. as posted above not the same mb. hp restore cd look for hp bios to work. if you have a spare drive use windows media creation tool make a new windows 7 usb stick. install windows 7 on temp hard drive. once your in pull your files off the good hard drive then reinstall windows on the old drive then move the files back.

Go into bios > Disable AHCI mode if it's enabled > Start into safemode > remove AHCI driver from windows
