Connect the HD to the old MB/CPU, and boot it up. Uninstall ALL non-essential devices possible. Also, uninstall all instances of hard disk controllers, Storage Volumes, and optical drives, and the video drivers.

Move it back to the new system, and start with a minimum system, just the video board and hard disk. Once you get that to boot, install the video drivers, then start adding the other stuff back in.
