the intel chipset driver should be in before you install your video drivers!

that, and i don't see what's the point of flashing the bios if the board is new

the key is to install essential drivers first. first chipset drivers then service packs then video then the others

i think you can skip the video driver too if you're running XP. installing it again doesn't hurt tho. and what, moniter driver??? they don't say "plug and play" for no reason you know. are you sure your moniter has a "driver"?

remember restart each time you are told to do so
