Hi guys, I am a fairly new computer builder. My most recent build has been up and running for the last three days. I believe I have installed most of the required drivers for my motherboard (chipset, LAN, etc.) but I cannot figure out how to check what ones are currently installed. How can I view installed drivers? Is that under computer? I'm running a Z97-A mobo, Win 7 64-bit. Thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate it.

Look in Device Manager. If there's no yellow exclamation marks present, you're good. Besides, Win installs most of them anyway.
If there's any special features of your MB that you need to or want to use, you may have to install those too.

Yep, only one exclamation mark, and I don't know for what- doesn't look important though. For the extra features on the mobo: could I just pop in the disk that came with the board to do that? The disk may list the drivers I might want to install for the extra features... and then I could go find them? Thanks for the help!

Sure. Or go to the board's website in case there are any later versions of them. What is the yellow exclamation mark for?

I can't tell. Windows doesn't recognise it at all when I have it auto-look for drivers, and I can't think of what it might be. Could it be important? The PC seems to be running perfectly

What category is the yellow mark under?
Here's a small app to list ALL the drivers on your system. But it is so thorough, that it may not be much help. You can, however filter out the Microsoft drivers for a bit more clarity.

It's under 'other devices'. I'll check out that app- thanks!

Yes, I'm sorry that's all I know (or understand) about it. Thanks for the help tho! It isn't causing me any problems so it's probably a driver it tried installing for a USB Flash Drive or something that failed when I hadn't configured wifi. It should install if I try to use it again, assuming that it was a flash drive or something.
