Asus P8P67 Pro B1/Rev1 Driver issues / Windows driver restore

[jason11]

I have a P67 Mobo that was recalled, with the cougar point problem. There is no support for my exact mobo as Asus only has the B3/Rev3 version drivers etc.

I ran this for 4.5 years with the drivers off the DVD with no mobo-driver related problems.

Then: I bought a new SSD for windows 10, had issues with windows 10 and did a clean install of windows 7 on the new SSD (with drivers from the P67 B3/rev3 website). Now I have more issues than I even had with windows 10.

Here's the website I got the drivers from:

1) The cougar point recall was an issue with the Sata II connectors (which I'm not even using.) Any educated guesses what driver would potentially be effected by the recall? I'm guessing it's the Intel chipset driver. If that's the case, how would I uninstall just that driver? I don't think there's an uninstall exe in the download.

2) I have a Windows backup of my old system. Is there an easy way for me to restore drivers from that backup? (Don't mind doing a system restore from that backup if that'd do it.)

I still have my old system on my old SSD if all else fails...

Intel manufactured a new version of the 6 Series support chip. Asus states Pre-B3 revision motherboard users can also download and use the new B3 revision BIOS, drivers and utilities.

You don't say which SATA port you are using or anything about the new SSD.

Ty for the reply Calvin.

The SSD is a Samsung Evo 850 series, and I use the Intel Sata III ports... Ports -not- effected by the Cougar Point recall. I used this Mobo for 4 years and as far as I can tell, there was no problems with using HDD's on these ports. I've been using a Seagate Barracuda on the same ports too.

You write, "Now I have more issues", but never say what the issues are.

I didn't go into detail because regardless of the troubleshooting, I'd want the drivers from my old setup and have them installed, I just don't know how to get them from one HDD to my new one.

The biggest problem is the fact Blizzard games (hearthstone, heroes) freeze up within 0-30s of starting them, and with a GTX 770 I have plenty of power to handle them. Blizzard recommends upgrading chipset via intel's driver utility which I did but it's still not working. But I'm having some problems with freezing etc in other programs/games although not as bad. And yes, I did a clean install of Nvidia drivers.
