Is there a good free driver checker? I just downloaded one and it found 5 out of date drivers. I've managed to update 3 of them manually and the other 2 were something relating to Intel.
I can see on my motherboards website driver page that there are drivers for Intel but not what the driver program thrown up.

So my question is, is there like a free program that gives precise details so I don't mess up?
 
Sounds like this could be handy in your case:

I've used it in the past, no probs so far. Bit of caution should be exercised as sometimes a specific motherboard driver will be slightly different to Intel's recommended one, so it's always best to get as much as possible direct from the motherboard manufacturer. Nevertheless I have found this program useful to update HD graphics* etc.

* HD graphics must be in use when updating, not the GPU.
