Yes, motherboard driver.  Look up what motherboard you have, then its 
chipset.  The more common brands usually have lists of drivers, patches, 
updates, manuals and whatnot on their sites for all their products. 
Like Asus, ABit, Gigabyte etc.
There are other possibilities, like something you have running that 
could interfere with Doom3 loading properly.  I don't know what exactly 
that would be, just a thought as that kind of thing does happen.
Exactly what are your system specs?  I'm guessing you're using XP cause 
you're looking for SP2, which is just out for XP :) (I installed it, no 
problems so far, though it did make a few changes and some additions). 
You can use msconfig.exe to see exactly what is loaded on startup too. 
Check that and see what is in it.
