Questions about Intel chipset Drivers for Motherboards.

[alanwest09872]

Not to sure if this belongs here or not lol.

I have windows 7 64bit. i downloaded the Windows 7 64bit chipset drivers
I have the evga 760 Mother Board

Before I attemt to install the Chipset drivers the dates on them are 2006.
After I attempt to install the chipset drivers the dates on them are 2006
I have tried running it as administrator. I have tried running in compatibility mode. I have tries everything I can think of

The install goes fine but when it comes to the install part it just skips over it.

What I have done to remedy this is
1. Downloaded the Windows 7 64bit chipset Drivers.
2. I extract the exe with 7 zip
3. I manually update every single driver from there.
4 After the drivers are updated the ones that were found would have the date of 2008.

A. My question is. Is this a safe way to do it. Will I hurt my pc's performance or hardware by doing this.
B. If it is safe is there a quick way to do it instead of updating each one separetely. Like placing all them in the system32/Drivers folder.

Thanks for all you help guys. I appreciate it. I hope this ends up helping out someone else to. I know a few people that cant get there chipset drivers to install.

Latest Intel chipset driver seems to be version 9.1.1.1025 WHQL:

The method of force updating the Intel chipset drivers is:
to run from a DOS prompt.
1. Re-name the downloaded file "Intel Infinst 9.1.1.1025.exe" to "Inf.exe",
and place in some convenient location, such as C : \ Bin
2. Start/Run/cmd
3. From the DOS prompt, navigate to the folder containing Inf.exe
4. type: inf.exe -overall
5. Wait for completion, then re-boot.

Edit: you may need to run the DOS command as Administrator.
