Installing new Motherboard/cpu/ram

xMagition · 4 May 2011 at 08:00

Hey guys,

Pretty straight forward, These will be going into my current pc BUT, I have read of problems when the original win 7 install worked with a diff motherboard. Will have to do a clean install, or do i have to change boot up priority to cd/dvd and do a startup repair?

Cheers
James

Well the brands are different, old mobo is a Asus p5Ne SLI and the new is the MSI GD65. Doing a clean install do i need to format the drive? or Can i put the windows dvd in and select another option?

Yeah that not a problem, there is more than enough space on there, I just wanted to avoid formatting the disk and then having reinstall everything.

OK i will try that first, if that fails I gues I have no option. I now instantly regret my decision to not get a ssd solely for my OS. Fail

Cheers for you help & advice.

All sorted, idling at 24 degress at the moment, is that a decent temp? Gonna bed it in a little before I OC a litle later this week.
