Solved What NVIDIA drivers do I need?

[mastahelix]

I have rently re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

In the device manager I get the yellow caution for a coprocessor;

Hardware IDs
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07DA&SUBSYS_75041462&REV_A2
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07DA&SUBSYS_75041462
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07DA&CC_0B4000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07DA&CC_0B40

After some searching I find out that the closest I can find: Here
However it is a package that contains multiple drivers which include;
NVIDIA Display Driver
NVIDIA SMU Driver
NVIDIA Ethernet Driver
NVIDIA Storage Driver
I already have an NVIDIA Display Driver v335.23, but what I want to know is if I have the right driver and if I need them.
I have another thread about a freezing problem that came up, but I don't think it is relevant however I thought I should link it in case: Here

Go to the vendor's website and download the relevant chipset drivers specific to your machine. That should be all you need. The 335.23 drivers are for your GPU.

I couldn't find any relevant chipset drivers for my machine, hence my search which got me the ones posted, part of the reason for this thread is to find out if I got the right ones.

The other reason is to find out if I even need them, my computer is connected to the internet for instance so why do I need the Ethernet drivers?

And are the Display Drivers different from the GPU ones? They don't seem to be.

Hi there ... The Drivers you need are in the Link below ... They are under Vista ...

Thank you, however your link simply directs me to my manufactures site, I have done this beofre but I put in my serial number and the chip-set drivers don't seem to be compatible with windows 7, but I downloaded them anyway as a zip and when I launched the set-up it doesn't do anything but this v

Does it want me to install via cmd?
I am usually used to receiving drivers in a handy exe, so I'm not to sure what to do.

I have never used anything from the manufactures site since I found out they stopped updating my computer since 2008 and they only support Vista.

HOW TO: Install a Hardware Device Driver using Compatibility Mode

Or just get them directly from Nvidia,

NVIDIA DRIVERS nForce Driver Version 15.56 WHQL

 

[mastahelix]

OK I tried installing the manufacturers first, but they are not compatible, so I will try the original ones I downloaded. So just want to know now which drivers I need from this package, I will do all but the display drivers, but want to make sure as to not make everything worse.

 

[maxie]

All you need is the one Driver ... That should should sort your problems ...

 

[mastahelix]

SMU, Ethernet or Storage? If I had to guess I would say SMU.

 

[maxie]

Just Install the Driver from Stormy13 Link ...

 

[mastahelix]

Its a package, the same one I found, contains the same 4 drivers

 

[stormy13]

Just run the installer and let it install. It will only install the parts that are needed and the coprocessor driver is one of them.

 

[mastahelix]

Sorry I forgot about this thread, after some researching I found out that I did not need the display driver or storage driver, after I installed the SMU driver the coprocessor caution left and the Ethernet driver just replaced a windows driver.

Thanks for everyone's input.
