windows drivers vs vendor drivers

[burger]

Have one question, When I installed Windows 7 the only drivers I have installed were my video and audio which are not part of the motherboard (not onboard). My computer runs fine but 1 game but more or less I never installed any driver for my motherboard. Normally you install the motherboards nforce drivers, raid SATA/IDE drivers etc... Do I need to go back to my motherboard vendor and find updates for windows 7 or just leave it they way it is, or should I install the drivers off the motherboard CD I have here? My mobo doesn't have any windows 7 updates btw there all windowsXP based drivers.

If you did a boot drive format and install of Win7 you'll need to go to the mobo makers website and download the latest drivers from there. You might also need a BIOS flash, but I hesitate to mention that as only the very experienced should do it. We'll need full system specs to help any further.

Updated My System Specs. Yes its a fresh install of Windows7.

Go to ECS website, download and install latest mobo drivers. Let us know how it goes.

I wouldn't bother going to ECS as they haven't posted anything newer than XP drivers (most from 2006),

As far as getting them directly from Nvidia, best your going to get for that chipset (GeForce 6100 & nForce 410) is a Vista driver,

In your case if everything is working as expected with the Windows drivers, I wuold just leave it alone.
