I recently installed a new mobo for my e-machine. I had issues with the monitor, usb, and audio immediately. I've patched it up to the point that now it is booting with an instable screen, but once windows is up it appears ok. I reinstalled drivers for audio and it works well; but still, the usb was out and reinstallation didn't help. Suddenly, after a week of this, the floppy and printer went out as well. Reinstallation of these drivers hasn't helped either. No clue as to why this would happen. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How did you arrange the replacement of the mobo? Is it an
eMachine mobo or did you buy a retail mobo?
Did you use the eMachine software to reinstall? Did you get
up dated drivers for the new mobo?
