from what you have said above i assume you do not want to format your drive? what you need to do its perform a repair install,

you need the windows cd and the product key, if you do not do this, then yes you will have problems, and blue screens.

I suggest a board based on the Intel P35 chipset rather than the nForce 680i...unless you plan on running SLi?
