Not really - because a new motherboard would not have an effect like that on
your software.
The .btm file extension is related to 4DOS 'Batch To Memory' Batch files...

Are you using the new motherboard with the old Windows installation or did
you rebuild it for the new motherboard. Did you load the motherboard's
chipset drivers.

At best a repair install will be required. At worst a complete rebuild.
