So this guy wanted me to take a look at his PC because his sound and USB ports aren't working on his motherboard. I say okay, it just seems like a driver issue and I'll look for it and try to figure it out. Problem is, I can't figure out what type of mobo he has and windows won't find me the right drivers automatically. More or less, I feel like I'm stuck.
Is there a diagnostic program that can tell me the make/model of his mobo? Or a more complete driver list for motherboard components? ?

Found it. I'm getting some weird error. Apparently it is common with ECS mobos -- windows auto-driver thing thinks the onboard is something completely different than what it really is.
Thanks. I was just looking in the wrong spot. :D

It's pretty good, but you have to be careful sometimes. Every so often, it will recommend a beta driver as the newest one. And I always check the release date. It can get a bit wonky at times, but I like it. It offers multiple download sites with automatic links to the manufacturers website as well as through their own mirrors. Good download speeds as well.
