Solved coprocessor's driver

[khoshtipi]

Hello guys,

I'm working on a PC which the state of its device manager is like the image I attached it below. Under the "other devices" the coprocessor's driver apparently is not installed. I don't know first, does the PC need that driver? Second, where/how to download that driver?

Thanks.

Hi there ... You are missing the Chipset Driver ... Go to your manufacturer website download from there

How can I find what my manufacturer?

I take it you have a desktop ? You would need to look on the motherboard there should be some numbers there relating to which motherboard you have ... In order to do this safely .. You would need to unplug the power supply ... Press the start button for about ten seconds to release what power is left in the system... Also read the link below just to be safe .... If you feel this is beyond your capabilities ... I would leave it to some one else to fix

Does the PC need that driver? If yes, for what?

 

[khoshtipi]

I want to use the SystemInfo.exe tool which is available in this website. It says to me many specifications of the PC like the motherboard's specs. Do you agree?

My processor is AMD Athelon(tm) 64 processor 3800+2.4GHZ. My OS is win 7 32-bit. My system summary is in below. I searched for that driver but couldn't find a Windows 7 32-bit version. Should I find what version? I only found vista 64.

Hi there ... I need to do a bit more searching ... And see if i can find a better Driver ... Will get back to you ASAP

 

[khoshtipi]

Thank you.

Hi there .... Below is the link for your Driver .... It is for Vista 32/64 bit OS .... It will have to be Installed in comparability mode .... I shall give you the link on how to do that too

Checking again ... I have seen there is only a 64 Vista download for your Chipset .... I think it is very unlikely to work for you sorry

Do you see this one? Might it work?


W7 Ultimate is a poor choice for a computer with only 1GB of RAM, Ultimate loads so many things that most users will never use/need. Even if the computer had more RAM, Ultimate is probably a waste if you don't need/use the extra stuff.

Yeah thanks UsernameIssues .... I did see it the first time ... Guess my eyes are playing tricks on me today ... I cant say for certain it will work ... I also agree with you about the OS ...

 

[khoshtipi]

I try that file tomorrow (about 8 hours later-it's midnight here now) and post again the result. For installing I think I should use the second link which the nice maxie posted in post no.12. Yes?

 

[maxie]

Yes the second link in Post 11 ... Has the Instructions on how to Install the Driver

 

[khoshtipi]

OK. Thanks.

You are welcome.

You did all of the hard work.

I tried to rep your post with the MB driver link, but I gotta spread reps around.

Just curious khoshtipi. Who sold you Ultimate to use in this computer. You really need a more upper end computer to take advantage of Ultimate.

You can`t read the manufacturer and model of the pc ?

And there is no reason the Vista drivers won`t work, they are basically the same thing, if not exactly the same thing.

Jack, there is nothing on a high end pc that will take advantage of Ultimate, other then using more ram. And in his case not with 32 bit. HP, Pro, Ult will all run the same.

In many tests I`ve found HP actually runs the best on any given machine. So I totally agree with you on that note.
