HP Chipset Drivers which to install??

[deanabiepepler]

Hello Hewlett Packard

i have a HP Z220 Workstation and i found a Folder of Drivers on the Main Account of The Desktop

there is 2 Chipset Driver folders Intel and ivybridge Which one? should i install both or will they clash?

the Processor is a INTEL XEON E3-1270 V2 3500 MhZ CPU etc. The NVIDIA drivers are installed but there is a Missing driver in The Device Manager "PCI Simple Communication Controller" The PC is Xtremely Slow i dont know if the Drivers for Graphics is installed properly The GPU is a NVIDIA NVS 310 and the Desktop has 8 GB RAM dont know how many MegHertz.

Any advice would be nice and how to make the pc run Faster with 7 cores 8 GB RAM there are 2 hard drive 1x 500 GB SATA 1x 1TB SATA Hard drive

Thanks

Hi, Dean:

This is a peer to peer forum.  I do not work for or represent HP.

I would use the latest chipset driver posted on the support page...

This one...

Intel Chipset Drivers for Microsoft Windows

10.1.2.8 Rev.A

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp72001-72500/sp72180.exe

The driver you need for the PCI Simple Communication Controller is this one...

This package contains the latest Intel Management Engine Software for the supported Workstation models and operating systems, as well as utilities for updating and checking status.

The lack of the chipset driver may be causing the PC to not be running at its best.

You can try the latest graphics driver for the NVS 310 directly from Nvidia and see if that helps...

You're very welcome.

I found this site very useful in solving the chronic W7 update failures.  I didn't need to use the advanced users discussion.

Buddy where can i buy a Windows XP Professional SP2 x64 HP OEM Disk with MSDN key? i heard on The Piratebay people say that Windows XP will activate automatically on actual HP PC some HP systems. i do have Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Setup images on my other PC. will these drivers work on windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64?

I bought a genuine copy of XP x64 on eBay with a product key a few years ago.

Maybe you can still find some out there.

There are XP 64 bit drivers on the Z220 support page, so you should be good to go.
