How to Find and Update Drivers for Your CLX PC

Your CLX PC comes with the necessary drivers installed for your hardware. You may occasionally need to update a driver to improve compatibility, performance, or stability.

The most common drivers you may need to update are:

• Graphics card (GPU) drivers
• Motherboard chipset drivers
• Other component specific drivers, when applicable

In most cases, you don't need to manually update every driver on your PC. Windows Update and the hardware manufacturers handle many driver updates automatically.
If you're unsure which drivers your CLX PC needs, contact CLX Support and we can help identify the correct drivers for your system.

Updating Your Graphics Card Driver

CLX systems primarily use NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards

If your PC has an NVIDIA GeForce card, download the latest driver from NVIDIA's official driver download page. NVIDIA also offers the NVIDIA App, which can identify your card and keep its driver up to date. For gaming systems, NVIDIA's Game Ready Drivers are generally the right choice.

If your PC has an AMD Radeon card, download the latest driver from AMD's official driver download page. AMD's Auto Detect and Install tool can identify supported Radeon hardware and install the correct driver.

Finding Your Motherboard Model

Your motherboard may need additional drivers, including chipset, LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and audio drivers. The exact drivers available depend on your motherboard model.

1. Press the Windows Key.
2. Type System Information and open the app.
3. Find BaseBoard Manufacturer and BaseBoard Product. 

The BaseBoard Product field identifies your motherboard model.

Downloading Motherboard Drivers

1. Go to the motherboard manufacturer's official website.
2. Search for your exact motherboard model.
3. Open the Support or Downloads page for that model.
4. Select the correct version of Windows.
5. Download the driver you need.

Only install drivers intended for your exact motherboard model. If you're unsure which driver you need, contact CLX Support before installing it.

Do You Need to Update Every Driver?

No. Windows Update handles many common drivers automatically, and NVIDIA, AMD, and motherboard manufacturers provide drivers for their own hardware.
Update a driver when you're experiencing an issue that may be driver related, you're installing new hardware, a manufacturer releases a driver addressing a specific issue, or CLX Support recommends it.
Avoid third party driver updater programs that claim to update every driver automatically. These aren't necessary and can install incorrect or unnecessary drivers. Download drivers directly from CLX or the hardware manufacturer's official website.

If a Problem Starts After Updating a Driver

Don't keep installing different drivers at random. Contact CLX Support instead and let us know your serial number, which driver you updated, which component it was for, what problem started, and any error messages you saw.

When to Contact CLX Support

Contact CLX Support if you're unsure which driver your system needs, or if a problem starts after a driver update. Have ready: your serial number and a description of the issue.
