Where can I get the drivers for this motherboard?

Is there anything on a computer that will tell me the motherboard name and model # so that I can get drivers?

  • I am trying to fix a friend's computer but he needs drivers for his motherboard. He claims that no CD came with the motherboard, but I call BS. I know the motherboard's manufacturer has downloadable drivers and software on their website, but how do I know what motherboard his system is using??? Softwarewise he is using XP Home Edition... Has a AMD Athlon 1800 and 512 mb of RAM. Any ideas????

  • Answer:

    I guess that you are looking for the drivers for the on-board components (video, sound, lan) rather tha the motherboard. Use software like Belarc advisor to identify the components (the motherboard realy doen't matter) and find the drivers for these components. If you don't want to do that the manufacturer and model are printed on the motherboard so you can look at it to identify it and then find the drivers from this. Unless you know what you are doing do not try to flash the bios.

the RAM specs dont really help but you could try finding the socket the processor uses and u can kind of minimize the possibilities there might be some sort of hint on the motherboard or contact the shop that sold the computer

There is no CD with the motherboard. Just the operating system and possibly a recovery CD. FIrmware is loaded on the chip You need drivers for the hardware- the CD-DVD player, Display, printer. You should not be playing with computers, you do not really understand them.
