Motherboard swap + total failure of all peripherals

#1 Post by pjc30943 » Sat Oct 03, 2015 1:22 am

My W530's motherboard slowly died over the course of a few months, first displayport video output, then audio. I purchased a replacement motherboard from a forum member here (super quick delivery, and professional interaction all around, thanks!) with an updated graphics chipset (k2000m vs k1000m that I had originally).

However, after the swap, basically nothing functions. See attached screenshot of one such control panel output.
I've attempted to load drivers for the peripherals that are not working, but none of the drivers will load successfully. Thoughts? Are there any tricks that need to be played after a MB swap?


EDIT: I also frequently see this in each Device Manager properties page:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

Had you tried a clean install of Windows before replacing the MB? The issues you currently have are also on a clean install of Windows?

Sorry for your trouble.

Try running System Update to install drivers.

If the recovery partition exists you could try recovering from that by pressing F11 at startup after backing up everything you need to keep.

You could also use a recovery disk set to recover to a spare hard drive to confirm the new motherboard is working.
