Usually you'll get a bluescreen when loading windows if you put in a new motherboard. It's not the chipset that causes it exactly. It's the hard drive controller chip that causes that bluescreen most of the time. Windows tries to load the drivers for your old disk controller and of course that won't work for your new mobo/disk controller so it can't read the drives = bluescreen. I always keep a PCI hard drive controller in my machine because I can just put in a new motherboard and slap in the PCI hard disk controller without reinstalling windows. I've done that many of times over the years without a problem.
