Changed Mobo, tried repairing, no go. HELP!

[Guest]

Ok i recently upgraded my motherboard to a more stable via chipset from my
old sis 648fx chipset. however when i started up the pc windows started to
load and then i got a quick blue screen and reboot. now i expected this so i
put i my win xp pro w/sp2 cd and attempted repair installing windows. it
installed and all but during installation i got a random error saying it
couldnt install a tape controller. anyways the intallation completed and the
computer rebooted. however now the blue screen comes up as soon as the
windows logo shows up. it flashes and reboots. ive tried repairing several
times and changing back to my old mobo and i keep getting the same problem.
ive tried chkdsk in the recovery console and it came up with no errors. also
all my files are still intact on my hard drive( i checked with multiple dos
programs). even if i recover all my files i will lose my registry and the
hundreds of programs ive installed. any way i can recover from this disaster?

What happens when you boot into safemode?

Same thing. reboots after loading all the files. doesnt even give a blue
screen when i load in safe mode.ive started recovering some of my files from
dos and placing them unto a external hard drive. its taking forever though.
it'll take forever to reinstall the 40 gigs of programs. i really cant figure
this one out. ive done the mobo changing thing before can't see why this is
happening. also the pagefile.sys file is missing from the root drive.

To help with getting the files, make a BartPE, you can work with the files
and move them to the external hard drive.
