    Mobo Drivers - MS or vendors?


    If device manager is happy that W7 has managed to find drivers for everything automatically, would the team recommend leaving well alone or going for the mobo vendors drivers?

    (I ask because all was well until I installed the Asus W7 drivers for my P5Q...)

    Personally, I would get the latest drivers I could from the manufacturer. If anything goes wrong, uninstall them and let Windows Update install automatically.

    Ahh. So if I uninstall them, W7 will go back to its defaults??
    Hadn't realised that.

    If Windows detects hardware without drivers, it will attempt to automatically install them from Windows Update.
