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.
