Is there a way to expunge the old drivers from my system cleanly?

What drivers and why do you want to delete them.

What drivers and why do you want to delete them.

The drivers for the old motherboard because every time I turn on my computer it gives me an error message saying this:

EPU-4 Engine

EAccessViolation

You need to find and delete the following two drivers which are ASUS hardware monitoring software related, the info here may help with finding them.

They kept reinstalling themselves after a restart, so I disabled them first and then uninstalled them. They are gone now, but I keep getting the same error message. And now I get a message (not an error message, just a message) saying "Can't open AsIO.sys !! (2)". The Icon on the taskbar for that message is displaying three blocks, two on the bottom, one on top. The bottom two say F and C and the top one says M. Whatever that icon is for....
