A mate of mine helped me format someones computer (HP). Hewlet Packard Pavillion, 713a.
It just needs
Sound,
SM Bus Controller,
USB; and,
Video drivers.
if someone can help me out, im having difficulties finding the drivers for those components, that would be fantastic.. and I'll give ya rep points![]()
if i remember the model correctly, it should of had specific reload CD's.
but the actual HP website should have the drivers to cover your needs
( www.hp.com.au/ ) you just need to search the model ( pavillion 713a ) and see what comes up

:my: I checked the HP website like.. 2 months ago, I couldn't find it.. I'll let you know how I go.....
Driverguide didn't have the right drivers, I downloaded some about the two months ago, to no avail!
Patrio, Cheers a bunch man.. Makes me look like a complete tool of a PC user.. You'd never believe I used to be a Computer Technician.. lol..
Yeah, I used to be one of three techies for Caulfield Grammar school, located in S/E Vic. Anyone from Victoria knows that Caulfield Grammar is a VERY good school, and let's just say you gotta have a decent bank account to get a child in there!
are the sound and video ports on the motherboard? or are they seperate PCI cards?
check this out too - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...ategory&os=228
edit - nevermind. you got your answer already
1995 Manual HSV Clubsport
Wade Cam :: 9.2:1 CR :: Pacemaker headers :: Twin 2.5" Exhaust :: VT Brakes
1991 Supercharged VN Berlina
9 PSI SC14 Intercooled :: Genie headers :: Twin cats :: HM Twin 2.25 exhaust :: 3.45:1 LSD
All integrated into motherboard, apart from Ethernet card.
Did the computer come with a Preload / Recovery CD. If so, run this cd and it will install windows with all the drivers preloaded. Most HP's have a special partition on the hard disk which has drivers and recovery cd stored, unless you have deleted this partition.
Go to the link posted above for the Sound (Realtek) and Video Driver (Intel Extreme) (Here)
Also check what the chipset is of the mainboard or post up the motherboard model number.
The chipset chip is a large chip on the mainboard.
looks something like this:
(Most common brand of chipset is VIA or Intel, but there are others)
If the chipset is a VIA chipset, go Here and download the "4 in 1 driver" which is located at the bottom of the page. This should install the SM Bus Controller driver and the USB Driver.
