Don't worry about the mobo man, to get the model number you'd have to take it out of the case and look on the reverse side.

Found it.
Googled my case model. (HP Pavilion a6352f)

Actually hold the phone; Almost found the mobo. Mine has four PCI slots on it. (And the fact that that one uses a Micro-ATX form factor makes me wonder too...)

Nice ninja post, was about to post this:

You know, I was wondering about that...
Assumed written specs were required.

Ninja post? It's a 17-minute gap.

Doesn't warn when someone edits while you type.

But yeah. Reformat. All new drivers. Then move from there.

Since it seems that we've exhausted any present causes, clean-slate is the way to go.

You can go here to download any updated drivers for your motherboard:

You could also try going here:

In the "General Download" area and select a variant of your board to see if those might work as well.

Formatted, clean slate, pressing on...

So I was talking with CCsaint and it turns out the mobo info is right on top after he suggested just opening the case up and looking... >.>

Here it is: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00906129&lc=en&cc=de&dlc=&product=3397528#N961
(I don't know about the "Narra" part, and mine isn't blue, but the rest is definitely a match.)

I've searched around the Nvidia site, Asus, HP, and Google, and I can't for the life of me find a driver for the chipset... it's 1:30 so I'm going to try again tomorrow, unless someone possesses the Google-fu to locate it before I do.

I don't think you need drivers for the chipset, you do for the graphics card.

[CCsaint10]

You need your chipset drivers proxie. It is important to have them. Windows apparently "provides" them for you sometimes...but it is always best to go to the manufacturers website and get them off there as they are usually more up to date and more complete. They give you up to date drivers for your pci express port, processor, hard drive, blah blah blah.

If yours is an asus macc...you should have too many problems finding it on their website in support. I will look tomorrow if you can't find it, but it should be self explanatory. Then I would proceed by going back to Nvidia and finding your graphics, updating your sound driver (if possible), and making sure nothing else is found to be update-able in windows updates as it sometimes finds drivers that are more difficult to find online.

So he needs both his chipset drivers for integrated graphics and his video card drivers??

i'm sure Windows provided the other chipsets.

Not for integrated graphics, drivers for each of the parts of the motherboard. Essentially, the graphics driver powers the graphics card..but what powers the pci express port?...the pci express driver for the motherboard so that it knows how to perform its function. Chipset drivers has all the drivers for the motherboard (hence chipset) in it so that they can run with the latest fixes and directions. That way, devices can work to their full potential and then motherboard knows how to tell the drivers how they should work to provide best performance. Hence why you should install these BEFORE any other drivers (or at least they recommend so).

[Proxie]

I'm sure Windows provides all of those, or his PC came with them.

Editing my post; I scoured Asus last night as well.

Any luck?

No, window's doesn't. It provides general drivers that "fill" in for the ones you are looking for. It is ALWAYS better to go with the original manufacturers drivers. Secondly, you NEVER use the drivers that come with your computers on discs and stuff, they are always outdated and shitty.

Negative...
