To make sure your motherboard is working properly, it’s important to keep the drivers for your motherboard up to date. And you should also ensure you’ve downloaded and installed the correct drivers.
To update your motherboard drivers
There are two ways you can update the motherboard drivers. You may not have to try them all; just work your way down the list until you find the one that works for you.
Method 1: Download and install the motherboard drivers manually
You can download the motherboard drivers from its official manufacturer’s website. To do so:
- Go to the official website of your motherboard manufacturer, then search for your motherboard model.
- Go to the driver download page for the motherboard, then download the correct and latest drivers. You should download the drivers for all the components on your motherboard. Download the driver that’s suitable for your variant of Windows system. You should know what system is running on your computer.
- Open the downloaded files and follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers on your computer.
