Update
Hi dig,
Just thought I'd give u an update. I read ur last suggested post, but the thread mentioned a windows seven install disc, which I don't have since this is a new computer and windows came stock on it. What I decided to try then, was a restore from a previous image I created (after Motherboard replacement, but before hard shut down). Well that did absolutely no good, so I assume it's safe to say that the motherboard replacement is causing the issue (which I guess u were leaning towards already) I then proceeded to perform a complete restore using the recovery partition. It went seemingly well at first, but I soon realized that I was unable to restore my files using the backup I had made. Furthermore, Internet explorer was yielding strange problems (I was unable to exit fullscreen mode when viewing media). On a side note, u may be interested to know that both the restore using the windows image utility, and the one using the recovery partition, only affected my first hd partition with windows on it. My second hd partition was untouched. I just found that interesting because I read a few forums where ppl were quite unsure of the effects of a system restore on additional partitions. Anyway, still sol as far as solving this thing. Any chance I could just download appropriate drivers for my new mobo manually (assuming now this is a driver issue)?
Thx,
