Difficulty Reactivating Windows After Replacing Motherboard

Hello,

I've had to replace my motherboard and CPU after a catastrophic power failure. After reinstalling Windows (unfortunately, I had to reformat the drives in the process), I am unable to activate it.

I tried troubleshooting the activation and selecting the old motherboard using "I changed hardware on this device recently," but it simply responded that it was "Unable to activate Windows."

Is there anything I can do to get this machine reactivated?
