    you'll need to uninstall all your old drivers. Graphics, motherboard sound etc. Then reinstall new ones from the manufacturers websites.

    Even then your windows may be unstable. It generally doesnt like changing motherboards. A fresh install is probably your best bet or maybey you have a restore point from when windows was originally installed?
