Driver-related issues on a Sony computer can cause various problems, including slow pc performance and frequent errors.

Usually, errors occurring due to driver issues are accompanied with an error message which specifies the problem clearly. However, sometime this is not the case. If you experience a certain error but are not sure whether it is due to issues with your Sony driver or not, you can perform the following steps to ascertain its cause:

1. Open the Control Panel window
2. Click Device Manager to open its corresponding window
3. Expand the hardware device type with which there is a problem
4. Check if there is an exclamation mark, a yellow triangle, or a red cross against a hardware device. If yes, the problem is related to a driver.

Problems relating to Drivers can be easily resolved by installing the latest Driver version from the manufacturer’s website. Before you do that, however, it is necessary that you note down the model and make of the hardware device that has encountered the issue. This information is listed in the Device Manager.
