Motherboard Drivers

Motherboard drivers are usually only downloaded if there is a problem with performance or a technical issue. They are generally discarded by the average computer user because many people go by the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Which, most of the time is true, but sometimes motherboard drivers have updates which can add extra functionality you were not even aware of.

Motherboard drivers should be the first thing you update when you install a new motherboard. If you don't you could be risking random restarts or worse, your motherboard shutting off for good. (It should be said that most current motherboards come loaded with drivers, and a CD if not.)

Drivers can also fix simple problems like double restarting when turning the computer on after the power has been cut or USB slots not working. Problems like this can also be caused by improper set-up when the computer was first constructed.

If drivers don't solve your problem:
If these aren't the cause of random restarts/crashes, you may want to run a virus-check.

Hope this helps!
