Error on boot: no such partition grub rescue

Question

I have a dual boot system (Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04.02), However recently I have changed my motherboard and since then I am getting an error. I have reinstalled both of my operating systems and followed these but it was still no use:

I have tried installing lilo by using a live-disc which gave me access to Windows, but if I reinstall Ubuntu I get the same error at startup again. I want to get back to the grub2 boot menu so that I can access both Windows and Ubuntu. this is how it looks: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zwed_1NqAZI/maxresdefault.jpg
(sorry couldn't upload an image)
and here is the link after performing boot repair: paste.ubuntu.com/10739355/

This may be helpful: https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/776643-how-to-rescue-a-non-booting-grub-2-on-linux/ - read the "booting from grub-rescue>" section in particular (I would read all of it). — , Apr 04 '15 at 08:31

no @David Foerster ..I installed Ubuntu after windows ..its not that issue — Irsham Ali, Apr 04 '15 at 13:40
The answers to that question don't just apply to the part of the question title between parentheses. Did you try to run Boot-Repair as recommended per one of the answers? If so, I'd like to see the log file to maybe find some more hints to the cause of the issue. — David Foerster, Apr 04 '15 at 13:42
You don't explicitly say what error message you're seeing. Reporting the exact error message is important to even begin debugging problems. If necessary, take a photo with a digital camera and post it as part of your question. — Rod Smith, Apr 04 '15 at 15:48
I have updated the log file and screenshot check it if needed — Irsham Ali, Apr 05 '15 at 11:15

What I would if I were you, based on the information your provided:

Boot from a live CD
Back-up my data
Format the hard drive
Reinstall Windows in BIOS mode
Reinstall Ubuntu in BIOS mode
Restore my data

thanks for the solution ,it worked.. but any idea what could have been the reason for this problem? – Irsham Ali May 17 '15 at 21:20
When you change the motherboard of the computer you change a lot of things at the same time... So it's just easier to reinstall and change all modules then to try and find the single module in your old set-up that was causing the problem... – Fabby May 18 '15 at 07:38

Does your HDD have a recovery partition before the ESP?

On some UEFI systems, it requires a recovery partition at the beginning of the drive and the ESP as the second partition. and of course gpt partition tables for UEFI.
