Some motherboards require special Windows drivers (or at least that was

As I recall, Windows provides an opportunity to install drivers during
installation of the OS - which might not be what you want to do. If

are drivers needed, and if you're lucky, the manufacturer might tell you >>> how to install them without reinstalling Windows.
Well, I've had some success. It's definitely a BIOS problem. I mass
disabled some BIOS features. I'll see if I can isolate what the
problem was and report back.
It looks like having Core Multi-Processing enabled in the BIOS was the show-stopper for Windows. So I am able to get back into Windows again.
I'm still getting blue screens. They're much less frequent (every few hours, instead of a few times an hour). I'm not sure what the culprit
is. It seems upgrading the video driver improved things, but daily
BSODs is still a bit much.
Anybody have any ideas? Memory?
Thanks!
