Hi Bomba135,

My understanding is you upgraded your CPU, Mainboard and Memory without HDD, and you didn't re-install the OS (Windows).
If the answer is yes, the please re-install or upgrade your OS (Windows) as well, since the old version of OS is not compatible with your new hardware once it load into windows.

Upgrade OS or re-install OS, you could provide again enough information about your new gear, then it will be ok.
