Did you download the drivers from the manufacturers website?

Should be the Chipset Driver.

most of the time it does with windows update.

but it can be that windows update cannot find it, so manually downloading it is always recommended.

 

then you also know that you have the latest one

Sata is the way you can connect a normal harddisk, a controller is handeling the requests for the hard drive, this is the driver for that unit.

VGA is a Video Signal type, if you have a seperate videocard you should download the driver from their site.

 

Just a a general thing, installing drivers is not a bad thing.
