That being the case lets clear up what a driver is and move on -A driver is a software program that windows needs in order to run a piece of hardware- Hardware being the card itself either video, network, audio to name a few.
Double check your CMOS clearing with the manual and do it one more time rechecking the 2 power cables to the motherboard remove all cards including the video and use the onboard for this test also remove the cables and power from the hard drives,CD/DVD drives, all we're looking to do is successfully enter and navigate the Bios.
Once this is done you can start adding components back to the system.
Okay i'll do that right now, I have tried using the onboard video and removing the hardrives and all cards. It does let me navigate through the Bios. But what your saying is once i can navigate through the bios i can start adding the components while its on?
