Devices and Drivers

I'm going through my device manager and looking at driver details. I see that a decent chunk of my devices are a bit older... and some from Microsoft date back to 2006. But I have no updates for them in windows update, nor did Dell diagnostics see that I needed any updated.

Do I need to go through all of them individually and check myself? I'm a little cautious because I've had BSOD errors in the past while on a Skype or Gaming. I'm trying to zero in on the problem by slowly updating my computer.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi Caddy,
Most of the MS generic drivers are dated 2006, what an upto date system, no worries there,
unless thiers a little black down arrow on one
pop over to the BSOD sub forum and read the what to do to get help sticky for, hopefully not BSOD.
