Vista - If you have a Blue screen at startup first, try this!

If in the event you have a Bluescreen first try this:~

A driver is a program that controls a device. Every device, whether it be a printer, disk drive, or keyboard, must have a driver program. Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with the operating system. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver when you connect the device to your computer.

Goto Computer right click on it

Click on drivers
Then click on update...

All the best

This is more likely to cause you a BSOD, if all your drivers work why risk replacing a good one with an incompatible version! Besides, if you are having a startup BSOD you wont be able to access anything until its fixed!

Get drivers direct. That option really doesn't work.

Hello,

I have never had good luck doing that unless I needed to replace or update a driver becase a device wasn't working.

Ain't broke, don't fix.

Just MHO.
