I installed the drivers on the motherboard driver CD. Then I updated the drives from EVGA website but after I installed them my mouse stutters while in windows. So I uninstalled the drivers, then reinstalled them using the drive CD. Should I update the drivers again?

I ran speedfan and it didn't show the readings. It should show the reading for Vcore in the bottom left box but when I run speed fan it's blank. Speedfan
