    I recently upgraded my PC with a new motherboard and after re-installing everything I was getting frequent bluescreens which I believed were caused by driver issues. I couldn't be bothered going through all of the realtek website to find drivers that were hidden unnecessarily so I did some research and I found this program:

    It seems to actually do a great job, so I was wondering if anyone else here has and experience with it? If so, what do you think of it?

    I use it a good bit and it's good, the only downside is it sometimes gives an updated driver that's older then the one installed, but other than that it's good.

    Use alot on my own laptop and other tools great piece of software and its free. But as 200motels it can give you a driver that sometimes isn't as up to date as the current but other wise love it!!!!

    driver pack solutions is a better option and you dont need internet access so its handy when you don't have the wifi or Ethernet adapter driver installed
