1.	Solve : Computer wont boot up after updating drivers.?
Answer» I updated a win xp driver using off brand driver updater and i restarted and now it wont boot up...it was a cpu driver..1.7 ghz intel pentium mobile..PLEASE HELP..Perfect example of whats wrong with driver finder apps... Can you boot to safemode ? ? If so use safemode with networking and either roll BACK the previous driver or DLoad and install the proper one.

For future reference: CPUs don't have nor require drivers. What driver did it update exactly? And it probably goes without saying, but never ever used third-party driver installers or registry cleaners or things of that sort. Obviously, you now see what often happens. As PATIO said, try safe mode or try to do a system restore to a point before this driver was changed (if you have system restore turned on). Just out of curiosity, you mentioned it's an "Intel Pentium Mobile", which would indicate that it's a laptop, is that RIGHT? Could you TELL us the model NUMBER?
