(I'd still clear the system of drivers that are not being used).

Enter your BIOS by pressing F2 or Delete during boot. It tells you onscreen what key to press to "Enter Setup". Load the default settings, making adjustments only for settings you need like e.g. enable USB mouse & keyboard support. Save & exit.

You can also check your System Configuration to ensure no applications or services are being loaded at start-up that are not needed.
Click Start, then Run and type msconfig in the box that appears and click OK.
In the System Configration window, click on the Services tab and check the box that says "Hide all Microsoft sevices"............uncheck any you know you don't need.
Next, under the Startup tab, uncheck everything, unless you really need something to start along with windows. Click Apply and restart.
