Hi all
Not been on here for a while as my pc has been running like a dream for a couple of years!
It's been slowing down of late though so i decided to do a clean reinstall of windows 7 home edition today.
It's up and running again now after HOURS of windows updates but my problem is that some drivers are missing, meaning amongst other things that the pc can't see my two optical drives.
The list below from device manager shows what isn't working, i suspect it's the drivers for my ASUS P8P67 PRO motherboard. I've got the driver disk that came with my pc but i can't use it due to my optical drives not working.
Luckily my Edimax wireless card has installed ok so i've got internet.
"OTHER DEVICES"
Ethernet controller
RAID Controller
SM Bus Controller
USB Controller (2x entries)
Unknown Device
I've looked on the ASUS website for drivers for my motherboard but there are loads of different ones so i daren't start randomly installing drivers in case i make things worse!
Can anybody help please? I've emailed PCS but suspect it could be a while bearing in mind the time of year.
