I confused your hard disk with your motherboard. Sorry about that. The drivers for your computer can be downloaded from here:

SH*T...something happend in the middle of using my computer and for some reason i cannot print, and cannot add printers. i can't add them because the print spooler service is not running, and i can't turn on my print spooler service because i cannot run services.msc from the start>run prompt.

also, when i run "speedfan" it doesn't return a temp anymore, which seems weird.

i checked the event viewer and there were a bunch of errors right when the computer started up (list below), and literally 1,819 repeats of the following error, from 9:13am to 10:44am, and then once more at 12:21pm...
