Recently I retire my MSI A78M-E35 and install an MSI 970 Gaming. Since then I'm having a series of set backs. Sometimes its freeze and have to restart, but most of all is an error message that state; "Failed to load Hardware Monitor Driver". This prevents me to use the DVD player (Asus) and install the MB drivers and my games. Any help? Pease/
 
Solution
it sounds like you didn't installed a clean version of windows and just reused the old one

you need to install a new copy of windows, it needs drivers for the new motherboard and not the old ones installed


 
Hi, I would
1. enter bios
2. disable quick boot
3. go to peripherals make sure plug & play are on.
4. set device boot preference & make sure all drives are seen by bios.
5. Save & reboot.
