If you didn't chronologically follow the driver install for the first 6 listed (if you have integrated graphics) or the first 2 (if you don't have integrated graphics), you have to reinstall. The first two must be installed first prior to any other install or Windows updates, and not doing so will result in wonkiness and/or other hardware issues.
The drivers CD that came with the motherboard should contain the chipset drivers and any other relevant drivers for the motherboard. If you list what's on the CD, I can tell you in which order they should be installed.
For convenience, I would download all the drivers you need prior to reinstalling and putting them in a folder named "Drivers". Within that folder, create the following folders: Audio, Chipset, Network, Video. Save the corresponding driver install file to the appropriate folder. You may already know this, but you should not utilize the internet on a new install prior to installing an internet security program, which would be after all drivers and windows updates have been installed.
Once you install all drivers and windows updates, I recommend to create a WIM of the system partition, as this prevents you from having to do this all over again if you ever have to clean install again. To take a WIM, boot into WinPE/WinRE and issue the following command, with drive Z being the partition you want to save the image to and C being the system partition (the system partition's drive letter frequently changes in WinPE/WinRE, so verify first using notepad, then ctrl + O, or diskpart to verify which drive letter is the system partition).
- dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:Z:\Win10Base.wim /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:"Windows 10 Base" /Compress:Max /NoRpFix /CheckIntegrity /Verify
