....i connected everything ....

That's probably part of the problem right there.

Please follow the instructions in this topic, and then report back to let us know if it works in 'barebones' configuration or indeed if you've been able to isolate the source of the problem: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread27079.html

If that old hard drive has Windows XP on it your problem will be because Windows XP does not allow you to 'move' a working installation from one system to another in this way. There is no 'official' procedure by which you can successfully migrate a working XP installation from one machine to another, and the various 'unofficial' guides to doing the job are only sometimes successful.

The correct procedures when changing to a new system (an upgrade of the motherboard is the same thing as a new system) is to format the hard drive and install Windows XP fresh and clean again.
