Default Big problem...

Ok, so I decided to reformat my drives...

Anyways, I whipe the drives, reboot operating system, but there is a huge problem. It isn't recognizing my video card, my sound card, and I cannot set a connection to the internet via Broadband now, and I don't know why. I can't even find the hardware in the system, but I know it's there. The only device options I have are the default ones, and I canot change them. Can anyone tell me what is going on? O_O"

thats happened to me before and the only thing i could find that actually solved the problem was to format the HD and reinstall again. pain in the arse and everything but it worked for me. you may wanna wait for more replies before you try though, might get a solution that doesnt require doing it all over again.

You'll need to install, not just the mobo drivers but the drivers for evertything else too
