If you have any CDs you got when you bought your PC or a certain device, install whatever's on them.

In 99% of the cases those CDs are the drivers your PC requires to run optimally.

1. Find out the full name of the device that needs a driver to operate. Do this by checking the surface of the device or by looking what's unrecognized in the Device Manager.
