Okay so I just replaced my mobo.
I put everything in place and stuff and when I turn it on the boot screen for my previous mobo appears then a few seconds later my whole PC shuts off.

My specs:
Amd FX 8320
Radeon 7950
4 gigs of ripjaw ram 1333
Asus m5a97 le 2.0
Corsair cs650m

Old mobo was a biostar a88goz I think? I know it was a biostar mobo.

In other words what your saying is you replaced the motherboard.
Connected your old hard drive to the new board, powered it on.
And half way through loading windows it froze or you were met with a black screen?

If the answer is yes.
Its because you changed the motherboard and it contains a new chip set on the board.
Windows was setup and installed with the first board. the Biostar.
And therefore you are required to install a fresh new clean version of windows with the new mobo.
This is because the old version of windows contains all the old drivers for the biostar board.
Causing a conflict while loading.
You need to wipe that version of windows and do a fresh install.
You cannot migrate windows from one board to another and expect it to work, simply it does not.
It will lock crash, and freeze till you do a fresh install of windows.
If all of the above is true it`s a fresh install of windows OS no way around it.
