Computer Issues...

Nah, I thought it was the gfx drivers were fuckin' up the CPU.... but it was the mobo drivers >.>

So I uninstalled all the mobo drivers and pop it worked; didn't do a system restore.

The mobo drivers messing up sounds quite bad, generally... are you sure they were the correct ones!?
You don't need 'em, as windows will use generic drivers to do most of the jobs, but if you want a speed boost, and/or having glitches with graphics, they should really be doing their job.
