I picked up a new motherboard, and since then ive had multiple problems.

First i installed everything slowly and carefully. I took an old HD, and tried to install windows, it keeps freezings on format saying my drive is damaged. I tried another Harddrive, same thing. I took the drives into another PC, they formatted fine, and ran chkdsk, gave no errors.
I put them back onto new mobo, skipped format, and on file copy, will freeze after 1-2 files.
This happened trying from IDE, or SATA ( using SATA Adapter ) again on both drives..
I made a maxtor boot disk, and tested both drives, both passed.
I took a HD back onto my older PC, use that to install windows ( copied files over no errors ) and after file copy on reboot ( before it installs drivers, ect ) then put back into my new mobo, and froze on windows splash screen.
Ive tried multiple ribbon cables, 2 seperate power supplies, different sticks of ram, in different configurations, reset defaults in bios, cleared CMOS, ect. Only thing i havent done is flash bios.
I'm just running out of options, any ideas what else it could be? Pretty sure I've tried quite a bit with no success so far.... Think i installed it not as carefully as i thought?
