Solution
you would normally install the newest drivers that your motherboard vendor provides. Then when you have a bugcheck, you check to see what failed then go to the actual maker of the driver or chip and get the updated driver.
Most motherboard vendors do not actually write their own drivers. For the best chance of success make sure you have the most current BIOS version you can get for your motherboard. The BIOS versions are updated when new standards come out for hardware devices like SATA ports and USB ports. The updated BIOS might work with the generic drivers that windows provides.


FAQ
Why is there no Windows 10 driver for some motherboards provided on ASUS official site?
http://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1015050/

You have a Socket LGA 1156 motherboard with P55 Chipset.
LGA 1156 socket and processors were discontinued sometime in 2012.
