Take advantage of the device manager tool on your Windows-based computer to detect its motherboard drivers. The large circuit board inside your computer case, or motherboard, is the backbone of your machine that communicates with all other components. Your image-rendering video card, audio-producing sound card, and the central processor all plug into the motherboard. A motherboard has a set of drivers or files that allow it to function correctly with the rest of your system. In case you ever have to replace or remove these drivers, it's important to know how to determine which motherboard drives you have.
