Ok If anyone has an idea how to fix this its killing me and I want to break the computer. I have a desktop HP Pavilion a1310y with an Asus Motherboard P5GC-MX/1333. I just reformatted the computer and in my device manager I have a yellow question mark next to my High Definition Audio Bus And VGA(Video Controller) those are the only two with problems. I have went to the hp website and downloaded the original spring drivers when I try to install them it says use the device manager the files are stored in the C Folder. Now I do have internet and usually I can just update the yellow question mark in device manager through the Inet but this time its not letting me. I am rdy to Mud Stomp this computer any help would be appreciated!!!!! Thanks.

what you need to do is locate where on your hard drive the files got extracted to (possibly somethng like c:\hp)...then open up device manager, right click on the device and choose "update driver" when it asks if you want to install the software automatically or install from a list, choose to install from a list and press next, check the box next to include this location, then browse to the location of the driver files and press next

Ok so the files are stored In C:/Softpaq thats where it is telling me to install them from and when I go there and do what you suggested it says it cant be installed because it cannot find the necessary harware =/

[dsenette]

in that softpaq folder, is there anything like "setup.exe" or "install.exe"?

[liefman360]

There is a file called Install with the Hp symbol but when I click that one thats when it tells me to install it through device manager. Sorry for taking so long to respond.

did you try updating your chipset driver...here
nojoy...
try using microsoft updates ...do a custom scan and on the left side...click on hardware...get any it says you need

[liefman360]

Yes sir I did the custom installs for the Updates I was hoping that would fix it. Let me try this that you have here and I will let ya know.

[liefman360]

Ok I tried to update the chipset drivers and the file installed and everything but the High Defenition Audio Bus and the VGA controller still have the yellow question yarks by them. There isnt any new updates I can put of the computer from the updates list.

Ok let me give a shot at that, will get back with you shortly. Thanks again Happy.

THAT HELPED! But, we are still having some issues. In the device manager we still have the yellow question mark next to Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus. Still cannot run mmorpg without shutting down the entire computer. Before the re-format we could play the game no problem, so I am sure I am just missing something. Thanks for the help!!!

[happyrock]

there was another driver at that link for High Definition Audio...try it
I still think its a chipset driver though...
if all else fails try the chipset drivers from that link too
