Mother board problems

need some guidance...sometimes when i install windows on a motherboard that was from say emachines or dell it will not let my ether net controler, audio and sometimes vga drivers work at all. i reinstall windows (reinsalation cd, did not come with any computer) and still wont work. wondering why cause i have no problem with it when i do it to my hp computer. wondering if maybe dell or emachine put something into the bios to only accept there reinstalation cd, and wondering if i reset the cmos, if that would make a difference, and also how do i check to see what bios are compatible with any certain motherboard and how do i reinstall it

do you have any model number of the motherboards .. we can try and find the right drivers.

if you have manged to install an os then there cant be anything wrong with the bios or hardrive, its just a case of finding the right drivers for the board and the os its running on ..

what dell board is it or e-machine ??

for the emachine board its an intel d845epi thing is i have already gone to intells site and found the drivers and burned them to a cd (i have no floppy drive) and still in my device manager there are yellow exclaims and ? for vga, multimedia, ethernet controlers. i found that the only thing that has worked so far is using emachines recovery dvd but i dont think that i should have to use this if windows installed successfuly. any other ideas

yellow symbol means its probly conflicting with something else, if you have no floppy installed go into your bios and disable it , this will stop the motherboard and windows looking for it,

if everything else is working ok then it doesnt matter if you got the drivers of a recovery cd or cornflakes box as long as there the right drivers

but dont run the recovery cd or it may make a mess of windows,, just use it to get the drivers of,,

what os are you working with ?

i agree we shouldnt have probs , but companys are in competition and to try and get the sales an best for money they are putting everything allready on the boards. which can cause more trouble than its worth sometimes,

best way to building a pc is to get the board, ram, cpu and add a graphics card if it needs one but use onboard if it has one for first boot, and boot it up and install an os without any added components, then install all your motherboard drivers, update your windows , when all that is done shut down add one thing at a time like a graphics card, when you first boot up go into bios and check to see if you haveto disable the on board or switch from pci to agp ... then boot up install the drivers. and really you shouldnt have any problems .. but sometimes things are not just plain sailing..

if a problem does pop up just visit us again,
