Is there a way to install chipset drivers by booting from a USB Stick?

He guys,

 

I'd like to know if there is a way to install chipset drivers by booting from a USB Stick?

I mean without having Windows on a hard drive, because I have a problem with my new cpu a d just can't install Windows even from USB drive. 

That's why I want to try out if it works with new chipset drivers. Or do you think something different must be done?

 

Thanks in advance!!

Are you talking about installing an updated version of a BIOS?

Drivers are usually installed onto an OS so the hardware can receive instructions from the OS to perform certain actions

 

Sorry to be uninformative with this reply, I'm just looking for some clarification on your post!

I mean chipset driver only, not BIOS (updated BIOS already).

You need to have a os installed to install drivers.

 

If you mean update bios, then you put the bios on a usb, and there is no os needed.

Somehow I get "Driver: IRQL NOT EQUAL OR LESS" BSOD even though I want a clean install.

Seems to be a memory related error
