Installing a new mobo and CPU... not at all!
My story, I had a 775 system and recently got a brand new 1155 based one.
Before installing the new stuff I made sure to remove every chipset driver and the like. Including video drivers.
At first, I would get BSOD as soon as the yellow and red little spheres appeared on "Starting Windows"... Then I thought well that's it, will need to install a brand new system.
So yeah, I started fresh in a new HD and... decided to read more about said myth, "blablabla you need to format when installing new stuff", and surprisingly that was 80% of the answers. The most passionate defenders would talk about HAL (Hardware something. It basically makes W7 bound your system during the first instalation), and how it would be IMPOSSIBLE to continue using an old installation. The rest said that you didn't need to do such thing.
Then, I dont remember where, I read that you needed to change HDD mode from AHCI to IDE in the BIOS. I was like, when nothing to lose so yeah, gonna give a go. AND SO, the most unbelievable thing happened... MY OLD SYSTEM BOOTED!
I got *happey* and Windows proceeded to install everthing it needed, like SATA controllers. However I would still get a BSOD if I changed back to AHCI. However, I looked abit more about this issue, and Windows Fixer did all the stuff and ELIMINATED the problem, like it never existed..
Until now, I had no BSOD, crashes, glitches, everthing just works fine as a clock.
Think and try everthing before resorting to a clean install or worse, format:c
Thanks for reading! Just thought it would be nice to share my experience
