How do i know my sound,chipset,lan,graphics driver for my compaq amd athlon64 3500 disktop computer

t_m_conway,

You can download the drivers to the computer you are using now.
One at a time. Keep them in one folder, where you know where they are at.


Then burn them to a disk. Many use thumb drives, but I'll pass.

Put the disk in the 'affected' computers optical drive. (CD/DVD drive)
Go to My Computer. Double-click on the drive letter, that corresponds to the optical drive.

One at a time, double-click on each file name. You are installing each driver, one at a time.

When you double-click on the individual driver file, there will be 3 small windows that come up; one at a time, and in order.

At the bottom of the 3 small windows, click on Next, Next, and Finish.
Then restart the computer.
(Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart)

Now go back, and Double-click on the next driver file. Install it.
And so on, until all driver files needed, are installed.

I appreciate you stated -
"Compaq Presario AMD Athlon 64 GE force 6150 LE"

,but in all due respect it doesn't state what is actually needed.
To break it down on what you stated,

1) Compaq - Computer manufacturer name
2) Presario - Model name
3) AMD - Processor, motherboard chipset, and graphics card manufacturer.

4) Athlon 64 - A line of AMD processors

5) GeForce 6150LE
Graphics chipset information.
The Nvidia GeForce 6150LE is a type of Integrated Graphics.

Integrated Graphics is also known as OnBoard Graphics.
ON the motherBOARD.

Indicates for one, that the graphics chipset is soldered directly to the motherboard, and not a separate graphics adapter card; which is removable.
Therefore replaceable. (Upgrade)

What is needed here, t_m_conway, is the model number.

This can be found on the Back of the computer, in a white Service Tag.
For Compaq computers, and HP computers, it is the Product Number that is needed. Model number information is contained in it, also.

P/N = Product Number.

'Armed' with this information I can guide you step by step, and not post a bunch of generic 'prattle', as I have above.

It is my belief that once you see an example, detailed out on here; that it will become sparkling clear as how to proceed.

Driver: Small piece of software that allows the Operating System to communicate with a device

Click on the Tech Support tab.
(Overview / Specification / News / Tech Support)

Type: Click on the blue down arrow to the right of this box, then click on Drivers

AMD chipset driver for Win 7
AMD chipset driver for Vista
AMD chipset driver for WinXP

The chipset term used is for the motherboard chipset.
The motherboard chipset for your motherboard, is an AMD 785G - Northbridge chip, and an AMD SB710 - Southbridge chip.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_Chipsets#A-Link_Express_II

Scroll down to AMD 785G chipset in the left column.

The Northbridge chip handles the Faster capabilities of a computer.
Processor, Ram Memory, and HIGH-speed graphics.

AGP and PCI Express technology is HIGH-speed graphics.

Using a graphics card in a PCI slot is Not high-speed graphics.
Using Integrated graphics from the motherboard, is Not high-speed graphics.

The Southbridge chip handles the slower capabilities of a computer.
1) PCI bus and Integrated graphics

(Integrated Graphics is also referred to as OnBoard graphics. A term that explains better I feel.
ON the motherBOARD )

2) IDE (PATA) bus
3) SATA bus
4) USB bus
5) Ethernet
6) Audio (Sound)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Motherboard_diagram.svg

(CPU = Central Processing Unit.
Another term used is Microprocessor, or simply Processor for short.
The 'Brain' of the computer.
Does NOT mean Personal Computer )

This is why I think you need to download, AND install the proper chipset drivers. (Proper being matched to the Operating System)

When you go to download, AND install.
I would like to know the procedure you used.
(The driver file should be saved, then opened, and installed)

Post back in a Comment.

(I have had some people who downloaded, but did not install; and thought that would work)

You are stuck with the integrated card.

The HP website may only have Vista drivers, but the FORUMS on the HP website have your solution right here.

say thanks with HP POINTS

HP doesn't offer specific driver downloads for your computer. It came preinstalled with Windows Vista, however the computer has standard hardware. You can go the the manufacturer's site and download the drivers for each peice of hardware.

• Motherboard: MSI MS-7525
• Chipset: Intel G31 Express 
• Video: Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 3100
• Audio: Realtek ALC662
• NIC: Realtek 8101E 10/100 Mb/s (Gigabit Ethernet) Integrated LAN

The HP site is useless but there is an ongoing user forum thread that gives many of the correct links to download F500 XP drivers:

can you pls tell me what is your video card and did you install the driver for your video card? it might be the problem. if you have the cd driver for your video card install it and it should work just fine. hope that helps!

Download the driver for the GeForce here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Volume? The AMD processor does not have "sound" - that is only from your sound card or onboard driver on the motherboard - that would depend on the Make and Model of your computer.

SOLUTION!!!

**Even though your computer may SAY that it is a Presario V2000, it may have an entirely different product number for downloading drivers specific to your particular configuration.**

1) Look at the serial code on the back/bottom of your computer: there is a number starting with p/n (ex. p/nEX664UA#APL) This code identifies your computer beyond the V2000 label.

2) Go to the compaq/hp website: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/welcome.html#Support

3) select "Download Drivers and software(and firmware)"

4) THEN, enter your P/N Instead of "Presario V2000" into the product name/number box, and hit enter.

Select your operating system, and you will be redirected to a page listing all the necessary drivers for your model.

On the left of your screen, you will see a box that says "your product" with a picture of a laptop, and a model number beneath it. THIS IS YOUR ACTUAL MODEL NUMBER (Mine was Compaq Presario V2610CA Notebook PC).

5) Download and install the drivers you need, and gappy geeking!!!
