I tend to agree that it must be a hardware problem. I just got a reply from the driver seller on ebay and he said that some of the files are compressed so even if I could use the drivers I could not load them on the laptop because they have to be decompressed The BIOS I don't know how to check if it's corrupted or not and I am not even sure if it's worth trying. By the time I find the right upgrade and figure out how to do it I could just by another motherboard and hopefully be done with it I just hope I don't pick up another bad one.
