So I bought a gaming pc a few years back from a friend and it was awesome. Super fast, everything I needed. But recently I had to reformat because I got the deadly blue screen. Couldnt do anything about it [to my knowledge]. Anyways after reformatting, it showed that it was missing TONS of drivers and the pc was super slow. I was able to find a few but not enough to fix the problem. Oh yeah, it kept freezing too. The video card and sound card is no longer supported by their companies either so I couldn't find any drivers for them. Sound card doesnt work but the video card works ok. I really want to save this computer with all of its crazy fans and junk.

Should I just buy a new motherboard that comes with all the drivers I need? Is that the only thing I need to replace? It's been a while since I tinkered around with computers. Lemme know fellas.

Any recommedations on parts? I dont do any hardcore listening so a good integrated sound card would do. If there's one with a decent integrated video card too that'd be sweet

This is what I got.

Asus A8N-SLI DELUXE motherboard
Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS
GeForce 7800 GTX

would I need to replace the processor or ram?
