Okay everything loaded up fine got my Asus GTX 460 1GB in and everything installed internet drivers and all that shiz.

Now I'm downloading the nVidia drivers now but at the moment when I look in device manager it just says "Standard Vga Graphics Adapter"

Is this normal before you've installed the drivers?
 
its normal, just doesn't recognize the card yet, the drivers will cure this.

don't forget, after all the drivers for motherboard, graphics, sound are done.

run the windows performance index.

Aye aye sir :D

Quick question surely the sound drivers will be with the motherboard one yes?
 
It's because it doesn't yet recognise what the card is. Once you have the latest drivers downloaded and begin the install it will all be ok......dont panic
 
Pipped me to it stu ;p Trouble is mason the drivers supplied on the cd will most likely be old, we download them to ensure everything is bang uptodate and get the best performance poss

infact windows update should take care of most of this for you ;p

will be in the motherboard disk, or get newer ones from either the motherboard manufacturer website, or if it's a realtek chip, get it from them.
 
I'm on there website now looking under my product and theres loooads of differnet drivers.

BIOS
Sound
SATA
and some others
 
This is the Sound driver name off of the Asus website under my motherboard and the sound section

VIA Audio Driver V6.0.1.7500 for 32/64bit Windows XP & Windows Vista & Windows 7.(WHQL)
 
If you are on the mobo manufacturers website then download the lot ;p Or alternatively as i mentioned run windows update it should find drivers but not necessarily the most latest ones.

It's easy enough to go into the device manager and see what doesnt have a driver....the exclamation mark is a dead giveaway
