    Ok what else can go wrong with this pc? LOL

    About 10 minutes ago, my pc restarted itself.... when it came back up a little box popped up and said "your system has recovered from a serious error, please click send/dont send" well I clicked send and it gave me this page. So I went to Intel's website and selected my chipset but there is more than one choice and I think I should download the middle one but I dont want to choose the wrong one and screw something up.

    Can help someone me with this selection? Thanks :)

    May be easier to simply reinstall the ones you have. In the process, you can get the model of the chip for future reference, in case the problem reoccurs. Here's how:

    1. Right-click 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'
    2. In the 'Computer Management' window, click 'Device Manager'
    3. Expand 'Display Adapters'
    4. Take note of the Intel listing here.
    5. Right-click this, and select 'Uninstall'
    6. Accept any prompts
    7. Reboot the computer

    Now, Windows will uninstall your live graphic drivers, and on reboot, will replace them with (hopefully) good copies from it's driver cache. If you find it continues to give you grief, then you should have the model number for searching their website.

    Is that taking more of a chance then just selecting one of the ones for my chipset in the link I provided to Intel?

    Probably not.
    I don't think that you'll harm your computer if you select the wrong drivers, but the method I've outlined will install the ones you've been using, and know are correct. There's a good chance there's nothing wrong with those drivers, only that the ones you had installed may have corrupted. It's fairly common.

    btw - if you follow the links on the intel page you've linked, it will tell you specifically which chipsets that download is for.
