When I replaced the motherboard on my computer, it froze up once it showed the windows xp boot screen. I found out that I had to reformat the hard drive for it to work. Once I did that, it worked fine.
Yeah when you make a massive change like that a format is usually quite required

how do I do a voltage test?
Well ideally with a multimeter but if the problem is serious you can usually notice in the BIOS --> Hardware monitor that your voltages are fluctuating like crazy
