Hi I recently reformatted my computer and could not back up my drivers. I have been looking for these drivers for months. I tried ringing up Hp but they keep blowing me off and there advice is pay for them $70 to come out and fix my computer... :(
So now I am missing 1 Multimedia audio controller 2. sm bus controller 3 Vga video controller 4 Ubs controller????
In device manager there is a yellow ? next to them all. Previously there were only two missing but after I reformatted a 2nd time now all four are missing. If any body has back up cd's for the Hp pavilion 712a I would like to purchase it or if any body could tell me where I can find these it would be a great help.
My computer has no sound at all At the monent which sux.....

hi,
your 712a is equipped with a trigem imperial motherboard .you should be able to find the drivers you need at
