Motherboard Chipset upgrade

Not the bios, I mean the driver of the motherboard's chipset

And I don't replace the motherboard. It's a brand new pc but th
motherboard's chipset driver/software is not up to update. Lates
version is

* Product: Intel(R) Chipset Device Softwar
* Release: Production Versio
* Version: 9.0.0.100
* Target Chipset#: Intel(R) 4 Series Chipse
* Date: June 04 200

Trouble is there are some annoying warnings such as

7. It is recommended that the Intel(R) Chipset Device Software
be installed onto the target system prior to the
installation of other drivers

Presumably you mean chipset drivers?
Generally, if its working dont fix it
Or look on Asus site to check what the upgrade is supposed to fix or what
extra its going to give.
And DONT use winupdate for any drivers

It's not a high risk upgrade and is generally worth doing. The 'chipset
drivers' mainly update .inf files used for installing or updating hardware.
I've done hundreds of these updates and have never seen a problem.

And you've probably not seen a difference either.

Not so. It has been the solution to occasional hardware issues.

I'm afraid it won't help but I have updated everything except chipse
driver and bios. And I still get pesky crashes while playing Crying an
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.
I start to suspect the Avira antivirus interfering with those games..

There's an easy way to check. Just deactivate the virus checker and rerun the game.
See if the situation improves.
