You can go to the Manufacturer of your computers web site and see if there are mother board or video card updates there. It is likely that there is an update there.

If you go to device manager and expand the problem device then right
click/properties. Select the Details tab. Make a note of the Device
Instance ID. The VEN_xxxx & DEV_xxxx codes will be a source of
locating the offending driver using Google.

Search for the string VEN_xxx&DEV_xxxx and you should get links to
the manufacturer. From there it requires a little thought as to the
type of device but it may be obvious when the search results come back.

Example:

Device in Device manager....

VEN_10EC&DEV_0888 (in this case a Realtek High Definition Audio device)

Searching Google (click link for results):

Google show the first entry as a link to the Realtek web site.
