Did you install mobo drivers ? Your new mobo should come with a cd with drivers.Do'nt use the xp ones.

I hope you mean any available on the WindowsUpdate site, cos the install would've put them there if it had any.
Any that appear on the WindowsUpdate site are signed and stable so there shouldn't be any problems using them anyway.
