Hello! I just installed an Asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard into my new pc. This is my first pc build. I went to the asus site for motherboard drivers but I am confused. It said that there are 39 or so drivers needed for my board. Do I have to download and install each and every one? Do I just download the latest one? Will they include previous fixes? Do I even need any of them? I'm just not sure where to start. It all seemed fairly confusing to me. There were BIOS updates, chipset updates, audio updates, manual updates, etc... I've never updated/flashed a BIOS either. Any guidance on the drivers for my motherboard would be appreciated.

Here is the link to my mobo...

Look in your device manager, it will list the devices with conflicts (yellow !).

You'll want to download the newest driver for each of those. They will include the earlier version's fixes.

Normally, you'll want the audio and ethernet driver. You'll want to go to your video card manufacturer's website to download their graphics driver as well.
