    After you installed Windows did you install the Chipset and other drivers for the pc? You either got a cd for them or you can get em from ASUS's web site.

    Chipset drivers give support for the core functions of the motherboard.

    i downloaded a few of them like the wireless, Lan, Modem drivers but there doesn't seem to be a difference, i have an ASUS A7Cc, if i downloaded the VGA driver would that make a diffrence as it seems to be the largest file size

    VGA is the video driver. It won't affect networking but yes, you should install it.
