Compaq Presario CQ56-112SA: updated the Chipset drivers

I had a "sleep mode" problem with my laptop recently in that, if I select 'sleep' the laptop screen goes black, the fan continues to run and doesn't wake up with the keyboard or the mouse. I then turn off and turn on then and Notepad opens in "Windows Error Recovery".

It was suggested that I should update the chipset drivers as a possible solution.

Are there risks in doing this?

Hello:

According to the AMD Web site, it would be the last chipset driver for the chipset that has your model.

You can also run the auto detects a software and see if amd draws a different driver and try this one first.

Risk to install guide are that driver not install, or if it's the operating system does not start on reboot.

Can't tell you what would be the chances of something bad happening.  I would say not very high.  But if your luck is like mine, then...

Another problem could be the graphics driver.  You may want to reinstall that where some files display driver got screwed up over time.
