It seems that there's a conflict between the old device drivers (for the
old motherboard) with the new mother board.  

Boot Win95 into safe mode.  Go to Control Panel/System.  Under Device
Manager, open System Devices, and remove the PCI bus.  And reboot. 
Win95 will detect everything again.  Remember to have the CD-ROM driver
loaded in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, otherwise you will not be able to
use the CD-ROM while Win95 detecting the new hardware and try to get the
driver (if they're on CD).  Also have all the driver ready either on
floppy, hard drive or CD-ROM.
