When your computer’s driver is missing a base system device, it can cause your computer to stop working correctly, or even altogether. This often happens as a result of downloading updates to your drivers, or changing operating systems. Don’t fret, though; it is possible to figure out which devices your drviers are missing and restore them to working order.
