Driver problems after changing motherboard without reinstalling window
Hi guys
After "successfully" booting into windows after changing motherboard whitout reinstalling windows I have some issues that I think mostly is driver related. Everything in desktop look the same, windows seem very stable and many programs seem to work but I have a hard time installing new drivers and gettiing online.
Serious problems:
1. Installing new drivers often fail.
2. Windows automatic "Installing device drivers software" routine have runned for 3-4 hours now and all drivers have "failed".
3. Updating drivers in device manager just hang forever.
Minor issues:
4. When shutting down/restart it hang on "shutting down" after leaving desktopc for a long time.
In the end it BSOD each time with this message: driver power state failure
5. When booting, right before reaching login screen, I get black screen where I only can see
a mouse pointer, and I also loose power/connection with mouse and keyboard. A workaround atm is to turn of pc, disconnect power cable and all Usb plugs and then start again, then I reach login screen.
6. Failed to initialize display driver wrapper. (guess I need to reinstall graphic drivers)
I think all this is somehow related to drivers and Im not sure where to start. I have a image of the system so I can test things and if it fail I can go back.
The most important I think is install new motherboard drivers and get online but since I still have many drivers left from my previous motherboard I have no idea what to do or what order to do it.
Am I missing something to install new drivers?, Should I run a reg cleaner, should I nuke all old drivers, should I try to install new drivers on top of old ones or what???
Would love any help on this so I can get my windows up and running again.
Cheers :)
