Not being harsh..but was there no warning to back up your original Bios?

What hardware can Windows not find drivers for ? BIOS updates can change parameters of hardware devices making old drivers obsolete. Updated drivers may be needed.

You could install linux mint 9, on it ,fits on 1 cdr, boot from cd ,see does it work ok.
See http://www.linuxmint.com/release.php?id=13
download iso,burn to cdr,use imgburn to burn image ,iso file.
IF it works ok, you can click icon,install mint, it needs about 5gig of free space to install.
Mint should identify all devices,chipsets , on any pc made before 2010.
IT has webrowser,music player built in.
get the 32bit version,in above link.
it can be run as livecd, runs from cdr.HD install mode is faster load, enables you to install programs,from menu,software manager.
Livecd mode is more noisey,just runs from cdrom.
