Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmmmm, it's been a long time sinc eI last had to fiddle with my drivers. I had a lot of issues with intel updates, sinc eI had to hadnle them as an OEM, and also because I had to swap my motherboard out for a very very slightly different one, which I for some reason thought the computer wouldn't be able to tell the difference between.

When I was having those issues, I mostly waited for intel to release new drivers, but I also got a lot of good advice from the folks over at "bleepingcomputer.com"

If your problem is USB AND sound, it might not be just one issue, and it might be more than just drivers. Did the problems come up at the same time, or one after the other? This is important to know.


ALSO: If you have mouse and keyboard use, now might be a good time to buy some storage media to do a system back-up. It'll be harder to do later. If you can back up your documents and shizz you can do a factory restore, which is usually not as hard as it sounds.

But yes, bleeping computer is a great site. Especially not that I realize how late it is and how tired I am.
