Hi guys

My PC is constantly BSODing so I'm formatting it.

How do I work out which drivers I need to download ready for after the reinstall?

I remember I had a nightmare getting something working when I first did this install but I can't remember what it was now.

Is there a program that says "you need x, you need y" etc?


Thanks!
 
Thanks for the list bledd., I'll follow that but I was wondering if there was something that could list the different drivers or what needs drivers...automate the process a bit.


Good idea theheyes, I did do that not too long ago when I was having problems but I think I'll run Memtest86+...see if it finds anything, I've got 4 sticks so there's an increased chance of one going wrong I suppose!
 
Well at theheyes suggestion I am currently testing the RAM and seem to be encountering all sorts of problems...I hope it is that at fault so I can take out the dodgy stuff but I'm not sure what the results are telling me.

I've created a specific thread in the right forum for it here, I would be grateful if someone can take a look.

Thanks.
