GA-P55 can't install chipset drivers

I bought a GA-P55A-UD3R rev1 mobo and installed Windows 7 64 bit. I installed the latest mobo INF chipset drivers and when I checked device driver versions in device manager nothing had been updated.




All the versions were 6.1.7600.16385 which are default Microsoft drivers from 2006. Nothing i did could get the mobo drivers installed, run as administrator did nothing.

Finally found out thanks to this post how to do it.

CMD into the folder where the setup.exe is and at the cmd prompt type "setup.exe -A" that will extract the inf files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\InfInst\Inf

then type "setup.exe -OVERALL" That will force the overwrite of all the inf drivers. Reboot and you will have up to date mobo drivers.
