I bought a Prebuilt PC, a Compaq Presario SR2170NX.
I took out the motherboard and CPU, i've replaced it with a Phenom ii 920 and an
MSI K9N6PGM2-V
I've replaced the PSU with a 400 watt ATX Power supply. My full system specs are here.

The problem i get is, when i bootup my computer, i can get past the motherboard splash screen, i choose my OS to bootup, (i only have 1), the windows splash screen shows up for not even a second and it sends me straight into a reboot loop and it will continue to do this until i shut it down.
Can someone help me?
I'll post more information if you guys need some.
 
What do you mean load the right drivers?
I can't login or boot my pc so i can't get to the desktop to install the drivers.
 
Did you also replace the hard drive ??? Unless you reinstall windows. it will not load or run...You still have all the drivers for the old motherboard, you will have too reinstall windows, next did you get a drivers disk with the new Motherboard ? If not you will have to hunt the drivers down ,,, Video / sound / network and so on..
 
Are you able to get into safe mode? When the computer is first booting, tap the f8 key a few times to bring up a selection screen where you can choose safe mode or normal o/s. Once in safe mode, try loading the drivers for your new system board from the cd that came with it. If that doesnt work, you may need to reload the operating system.
