What drivers? For most current Mobo drivers, just search the ASUS website for the model. For the peripherals, go straight to the manufacturer websites.

The BIOS lives in a volatile chip on the MoBo, not your HDD so you are safe there. go here:
http://support.asus.com/download/downloa...el=A8N-SLI%20SE
and start by downloading the chipset driver. Then check your device manager for the other integrated devices needing drivers. Download and install as necessary.

As for the Video card, go here:

Good luck to you!
