I'm about to replace my motherboard.  When you say delete all device
drivers, exactly what do you mean.  I assume it's cd, disk drives, video,
sound, etc but what about all the other stuff in device manager like the
system devices tab? Could you go into a little more detail on the procedure
you follow.
