Re: Damn new hardware found....but what??

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Being cautious is fine, but installing a motherboard Chipset Driver isn't
all that complicated. The Hyperion 4-in-1 is a zip module. The module
is around ~6.0 Megabytes in size. Once downloaded, using Explorer -
you Right Click the file VIA_HyperionPro_V500A.Zip. A context menu
will appear, Left Click "Extract All". The Compressed Folder Wizard
will open. Click Next. The destination will be set to a sub-folder of
where the .Zip module resides. Click Next. Click Finish. An Explorer
window will open showing you the "Extracted" folder, Double-Click
the Folder VIA_HyperionPro_V5.00A.0. Another Folder view will
appear - Locate the file Setup.Exe, Double-Click this module and the
install process will begin. Once completed, Reboot your machine &
the appropriate drivers will have been updated.
