hello :)
i just got a new motherboard, processor and graphics card along with some new rams and put them together myself at home, im pretty sure that everything is connected right in place but sometimes the computer seems kinda slow especially when it starts up, it kinda freezes after entering my password some quite a while.
after putting everything together i installed a new windwos 7 x64 and updated my ethernet controller so i can access the interent and then updated my graphics card.
do i need to get a motherboard driver or something? i never put in a whole computer on my own so im kinda clueless about why it kinda slow

pc specs:
motherboard= asus B85M-E
cpu= i5 4670
gpu= geforce gtx 760 windforce oc
ram= adata 16gb (2 x 8)
 
They usually have an install all feature on the CD, but there will be SATA, ethernet, Chipset, sound, and USB drivers are the usual basics. Depending on the type of board you have and features, there may be more.
You can also go to the motherboard manufactures site and download these from there. Usually the site contains the most up to date versions of the drivers, it is recommended you go there and get them.

I ran the cd just to check what installations it going to do and went to the website HiTechObsessed linked and downloaded the latest versions of them all.
i also updated the bios and everything seems to run smoothly now, thanks for the replies
