Step 2 : If it BSODs, try safe mode and above

Step 3: BSODs and no safe mode fix, repair install.

If all else fails a fresh install, but you can often get away with it, depends what board you went from and to.

If it worked I'd stop there for the meantime, if not I'd carry on with with the rest of the build and bin the old one.
