I've got no yellow question marks in device manager except for a usb 2.0
device. I run an AMD 3200/64 with 1.5 gigs of DDR RAM and have an nvideo

If you wiped your hard drive during the full reinstall chances are you've
wiped your mobo drivers.
These are usually on a CD that came with your computer.
If you did not wipe your drive you need to check your drives settings under
device manger/IDE ATA/Atapi controllers/
specifically the transfer mode to make sure it matches the speed of your
drives.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about
the problem
