M5A97_R20 driver problem

AcerASUS117 · Feb 28, 2016

I used the driver disk that came with the motherboard but my dxdiag shows windows drivers? https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/HelpDesk_Download/ is where I need to download the right ones from but what ones to get? Version 8.0.903.0? How do I install them? Do I need to uninstall the old ones first? Wouldn't that cause problems?

Did you get the video driver here?

I have the right video card driver. I just need the motherboard drivers, currently the default windows ones are being used and it's causing problems.

Like I said in my opening post I'm not sure what drivers to get from the website or how to install them.

Thank you for taking time to help with my problem.

Okay, I have all the new drivers downloaded. How do I replace them? I've tried looking it up, but all I can find is people recommending where to find new drivers.

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 28, 2016

Download unzip and click the EXE to install.

AcerASUS117 · Feb 28, 2016

Okay, I unzipped and ran it. Do I have to remove the old drivers first? There are two options when I ran it. One option to remove software components and one to install software components.

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 28, 2016

No need to remove , install the drivers.

You are a life saver. Thank you so much, I've been pulling my hair out for three days. If it were something physical I wouldn't hesitate to try something but with computers it's so easy to let the pixies out.
