go to motherboard manufacturer site (Gigabyte / asus / intel / msi / etc )...

go to your motherboard model page, and pick download (driver) section

it usually listed there......

also Try windows update

I have already done this, I have already downloaded the drivers needed, but they have already installed old drivers that comes with the DVD of the MSI motherboard..

Drivers can be updated in Device Manager.

If it newer, the downloaded driver will replace the driver that installed before...

if they are the same most installation will just stop (or reinstall it again)

myself, if your struggling, i would download dprsu from here http://tpb.pirateparty.org.uk/torrent/7111773/DriverPack_Solution_12.3_2012
its freeware so no worries about copyright theft but the torrent is much much faster than the homepage d/l, then just run the program and it will automatically scan your drivers tell you wich are old versions or missing and will install hem for you easy peasy i have a copi on disk and i use it for off line installs, takes all the effort out of it, for me anyway, you do as you please but i hope that helps
