Good deal man.

the memory sticks were all the same with this writing on them:
1Rx8 PC3 10600U-09-10-A0
M378B773CH0-CH9 1041
I assume the only relevant part is "1Rx8 PC3"?
The CPU Fan said this on a sticker (this is all I got for you,
)
HP P/N: 614946-001
CT: EBKDC0AX9Z29P6
I think... I wrote it down on a notepad and my handwriting isn't the best xD
Bios version seems to be 1208
Edit: brb, gotta run to a store real quick.
Edit2: Back and ready for action.

These are the types of information that most users supply in order to be able to help them very much. You start with the 20 min run of P95 in blend mode as describled below and then capture individually as shown and attach to the forum so we can see where wer are.
CPU Tab in CPUz from CPUID com
Memory Tab in CPUz from CPUID com
SPD Tab in CPUz from CPUID com
And this is screen capture of HWMonitor (free version) from CPUID com
HWMonitor has been scrolled enough and large enough to show Min/Max of Voltages and includes the CPU CORE TEMPS fully visible.
This capture is made of HWMonitor after it has been open on the desktop logging Min/Max temps and voltages while Prime 95 was running Blend Mode test on all cores for at least 20 mins and then the capture of HWMonitor was made and it shows the Min/Max temps and voltages before P95 Blend was started and while running P95 Blend mode and gives much greater insight into how the system is performing without guessing.
In order to attach screenshots of images as suggested, first crop and capture the images with Snipping Tool found in Windows Accessories or equivalent. Then click on Go Advanced, a button at the bottom of every new post window. Then click on the little paperclip tool at the top of the Advanced post window when it opens. Clicking on the paperclip tool brings up the file browser/upload tool and the rest is fairly obvious.

Did you RE-install windows when your new motherboard came and was installed? IF n0t you probably need to and then install the drivers and go to windows update and update and then make sure your drivers are now up to date.
Then if it were my board, I would follow the motherboard procedure for clearing the CMOS with NO power to the motherboard and after CMOS clearing I would reboot and make sure the hard drives were set how they should be for how they need to be to how they were set when Windows was installed.
Then I would refer to post # 84 and get a baseline of a working speed and a speed that does not have any BSOD/BugCheck errors before beginning to overclock.

have we disconneted optical drives and removed and reinstalled all hardware and connectors?

Windows Update normally says there are things to update. In the list are any drivers to be updated if there are any. Otherwise you go to the site of the Nic driver and download and install the latest driver and so on for each component in the system that uses a driver.
EDIT:
I think was mentioned earlier that you need to run Memtest86+. That is still highly recommended.

See the column for 'errrors'? That will show how many errors are recorded and below the last jagged white line it will show error location in red if errors are found.

Most generally it means time for more ram.
EDIT:
What I meant was different ram if there were failures.

Why would I need more than 8 gigs of ram? Shouldn't that be enough for most anything?
Edit: Also, it seems to have passed. (Memtest86+)
Edit2: I also seem to have all drivers updated... Windows Update shows no need for updates.

I added to post #93. About the ram.
You need to see and begin post #84. That tests for stablilty and when the 4 captures are posted we can see what everything is set to and see if there is a possible issue.

Pics look good but it does not look like you have Cool N Quiet, C1E, C6, TurboCore and anything else that throttles down the cpu, turned OFF. Also need to go into Windows Power Control Settings and set the power mode to "performance" and then open HWMonitor and leave it open on the desktop recording the min/max temps and voltages and then post those type captures. The captures above do not seem to be settings when the cpu was under load or being stressed by P95 Blend mode.
