    New motherboard. When to install new drivers, uninstall old drivers


    I am about to replace the motherboard/CPU in my system from an old ASUS P9X79PRO/Intel 3930K, with an ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E/AMD 3900X. I have read that Windows can automatically install new drivers.

    So, that all said, I still have these questions:

    Is it better to simply let Windows do all the driver installs for the new motherboard, or to install drivers that I download from the ASUS website?

    Should I install the AMD motherboard drivers into Windows before switching out the motherboard? Is that even OK?

    If Windows installs all new drivers, can I or should I still install drivers from the ASUS website.

    After my system is up and running OK with the new motherboard, can I or should I uninstall the old Intel motherboard drivers? How would I identify these drivers?

    Am I overthinking this problem? *Confused

    :)

  2. How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused New motherboard. When to install new drivers, uninstall old drivers :confused:

    How to upgrade new ATi drivers?

    ATI drivers are simple.

    Install new ones, reboot.


    If you're still using XP, then i suggest that
    A: you upgrade off that antiquity
    B: you uninstall the drivers via their own uninstaller, reboot, and then install the new ones.

    Video Drivers - unload old and install new

    simply boot into safe mode with the new card, remove nvidia drivers with the uninstaller, restart and install ATI drivers
