Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your computer
or motherboard and download the motherboard chipset drivers
and install them.

If you have an Intel processor and chipset:

Intel Chipset Installation:

You will need to install the correct motherboard chipset drivers. These are
not usually made by the motherboard manufacturer but they can still provide
you with a copy, If you can not get thse drivers from the manaufacture, you
can try:

Intel www.intel.com
VIA www.viaarena.com
nVidia www.nvidia.com
