Lately my computer has been playing up so i have been told to update the drivers however i donnot know what ones to download.

I have a MS7060 motherboard and the chip thing in it says Sis964.

Can you look for any improvements for while, if none post back

[blues_bogan]

Well the freezing has gone away but when i turn of my computer the fans stayt on and i still have to unplug the power cord and plug it back in to start up the PC.

[Retired Tech]

How old is the PC case?

[blues_bogan]

umm iv had the computer for about a year.

[Retired Tech]

If the PC is still under warranty it would be worth contacting the supplier

[blues_bogan]

Im affraid it's not.

[Retired Tech]

I will ask a Hardware Tech to take a look at this, you will probably need to generate the Everest report which covers voltages etc

It could be a while before someone is here though
