Hello,

After reinstalling Windows you will need to install the proper Drivers for the system.

Click Start > Run > type devmgmt.msc

When Device Manager opens do you see any entries with ? or ! beside them?

What is the make and model of the pc?

If you are using the integrated graphics on this board then you should have a Drivers

disc that came with the MB. If not you can download the Drivers from the ASUS website.

the bad news is i dont have the disc and the really bad news i dont know what to download from ASUS... could you point me at the right direction please....

makinu1der2

Use the link below. You can have it autosearch for Drivers or input your board into the

search criteria.

sobeit

if your computer is a branded model like dell, hp or whatever, it may be better to get your drivers from their website because oem may use different drivers than retail.
