Asus Prime Z390-A Driver question

Hey, so I can only find drivers for my Asus Prime Z390-A dating back to 2021 on Asus driver page, is this normal practice for older motherboards? Also I see all the links you have here and wonder if there's more recent drivers I can download and if so, why wouldn't they be on the driver page?

Hi,

Mainly because your motherboard has been EoL since mid-2021 (in any case, even for current motherboards, the firmware/drivers I offer are very often more recent than what is offered on the motherboards support pages).

You need these firmware/drivers for your ASUS PRIME Z390-A motherboard :

[FIRMWARE] Intel ME (H310/B360/H370/Z390)​

​

[DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/SATA (1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx)​

​

- Intel Chipset Drivers​

​

- Intel MEI Drivers (Drivers Only)​

​

- Intel SATA AHCI-RAID Drivers (Drivers Only) :​

​

Drivers - 2xx/3xx​

​

[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth​

​

- Intel Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only) :​

​

DDrivers - I217/I218/I219​

​

[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx)​

​

You have an ASUS PRIME DTS Headphone:X v1 motherboards, so :​

​

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS HPXv1) from the first post of the thread.​

​

Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.​

Thanks! Do you have any tips or knowledge on troubleshooting/fixing? So when I log on my PC, it's kind of stuttery and I get a black screen for a second, then it's back to normal. It's just that some settings in Nvidia control panel, Afterburner etc NEVER sticks, and it might affect performance in games etc. I suspect maybe it's chipset drivers and iGPU or PCIe lane being messed up. I don't know exactly when the issue started happening, but maybe in early 2021. Tried other GPUs, completely fresh Windows 11 install etc.
