I've been looking doing some research about windows 7 and I discovered that your motherboard must support virtual hardware, for it to run XP, so enabling a dual boot, between Windows 7 and Xp. I not sure that my motherboard has the virtual hardware. I'm not seeing it, can someone help me?
Unfortunately this Asus mb does not seem to have inbuilt intelligent CPU fan control- unlike the Gigabyte MA78GM-SH2 which is whisper quiet but now not available.
Asus supply a software Utility on the CD, but the overall Application Installer will not allow installation to what it calls WNT_6.IP_64_MCE - thereby stopping me getting at what they call Cool 'n' quiet.
As I bought 6 of these mb's any thoughts on how to make things quieter would be much appreciated.
I'm building a new pc with a Asus M3N78-EM mb and AMD Phenom 9600. I tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate (Bld 7000) 64 bit and was getting the BSOD around the point of expanding files during the install. I tried a couple times, same results. I then updated to the latest bios for the mb and tried installing again. The install goes much further, during the part of "completing install" i get the BSOD.
I tried 3 more times, everytime BSOD around the same part of the install. Can someone tell me if this is a mb bios issue, a bad cpu issue or a windows 7 64-bit issue? I tried installing Windows 7 beta 32-bit, and this installed successfully on the first try. This is nothing fancy with my new system, 4 gb (1066) GSkill memory, all default bios settings, sata hd's (non raid).
Ok, so I just put together a new PC with an ASUS M3N78 Pro motherboard, and I installed Windows 7 onto it. I got pretty much everything working right except the sound. I tryed installing a vista x64 realtek HD audio driver from the ASUS site, and it didnt work. Any ideas?
OK, so I just built a new PC with an ASUS M3N78 PRO motherboard. I installed Windows 7 and almost everything works except for the sound. I have Logitech X-540 Surround Sound speakers hooked up and I installed a RealTec audio driver for Vista x64, which did nothing. Any ideas about how to get this working?
I just put together an i7 rig today with the Asus P6T motherboard. I'm having a problem with it detecting any of my PCI cards though. I installed the latest drivers for Windows 7 from the Asus site. It claims the driver installed and reboots, but then it doesn't start auto-detecting my PCI cards. Therefore I can't install my sound card or wireless card.
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my pc (fresh install) I have the Asus P5N-D Mobo. When Windows 7 gets to the screen to select the drive to install it on, it's blank. I have tried the P5N-D driver disk. Have tried Vista and XP driver's but nothing seems to work. Is there any other reason why Windows 7 can't see my 250 gb hard drive? System specs below:
Just upgraded to windows 7. The only problem is that Windows blocks the drivers needed for my TV Tuner. A (ASUS PVR-416, Hauppauge Conexant 2388x (BlackBird))
I rolled back the drivers and they sort of work . They are not blokced but the picture is normal for about 30 seconds before going blocky and pixelated.
I believe this to be a driver issue, but can not find the right drivers anywhere, This Tv tuner came out my old HP computer. I have been to the HP web site and have used their drivers. They are all the drivers i have. The ones the get blocked or give me a bad picture.
I have contacted Hauppauge and ASUS and no reply yet from either.
Any Help would be great. I am a college student so I use my computer as my tv and do not have the funds to purchase a new tv tuner card.
I have an Asus K8N-VM motherboard with AMD Sempron 300+. Win7 will not recognize the sound card, and I cannot install the drivers that I use with WinXP.
So I am using the Asus M2A-Vm motherboard. Now, the board says it is ready for Vista and since people are saying that Windows 7 is pretty much backwards compatible, I thought I'd give it a try. I went from XP to Windows 7. The installation went fine, other than the long boot time(I'm assuming it's from BIOS or drivers).
Here's my problem. When I try to install the drivers the setup will start like normal but then say "Your OS is not supported".Bummer. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with this board or know of a fix. I'm going to try to update the BIOS and see if that will fix anything since it hasen't been updated since '07.
edit: Because of this issue I've also not been able to install drivers for my GPU which is a nVidia 8600GT.
So, I have recently installed Windows 7 and am having problems not connecting to the wireless Internet in the house that I was able to connect to before. I have looked around for answers and haven't really got any real answers.
Thought I'd share a little bit of info I picked up while settings up Seven on my new rig.
Found that the driver CD that comes with the motherboard doesn't work off the bat. Auto-play doesn't like Seven for whatever reason, so what I ended up doing was browsing the CD and running the setup executable in compatibility mode for Vista, worked like a charm. Called ASUS to find out if they had any beta Seven drivers and turns out they more than likely will not be releasing anything until after Seven goes RTM. The only issue I still have is a list of System Interrupt Controllers as unknown devices in device manager. Aside from that, everything works great so far!
Since installing windows 7 i have the problem that when typing on my Asus pro 80 laptop the cursor frequently jumps to somewhere else in the text fields. This can happen in any application from word to like now where I am typing into a forum.
I am fairly certain that this is not a hardware problem as the laptop worked perfectly before doing a clean install from Vista .
What I have noticed is that the device manager shows two devices with drivers missing , but it cannot identify what the devices are. I have attached the screen shots showing this . maybe this has nothing to do with the keyboard issue.
Any help would be really appreciated as my lap top is virtually unusable as it is .
I just upgraded my laptop from vista to windows 7 ultimate and I am having a few problems that maybe some of you could help me with?
Well first off it doesn't recognize my flash drive. It shows up in the "Device Manager" but it doesn't in "My Computer". Could I be missing a driver or something? Also It wont read disks in "My Computer" Either? Like wtf I thought this was supposed to be better than Vista, but so far it just a **** load of problems..
My laptop gets hot while i play games on it, as most laptops do. But my laptop graphics card is getting so hot that i am getting green pixels all over my screen. I have a gut feeling the dots are from the graphics card getting hot. I noticed that this usually happens when i have it plugged in (Charging). I have a USB cooling pad on it but it seems like it isnt doin much.
Is it safe to add 8gb more RAM? I have 4 RAM slots, two are occupied by 2x 2gb as mentioned above.I'm thinking about adding two of these: A-Data 4GB (1x4096MB) CL9 1333Mhz
I have an Asus g73jh laptop with 2 hdd's about 2.5 yrs old,would like to replace 1 hdd with an SSD for obvious reasons.I am looking at getting a Samsung 128GB 840 Pro.
In a few days i'm gonna buy an asus eee (900, 901 or 904)
So I wanna know if it's possible to get windows seven on it, and run it normally without freezzing al the time? if you use the aero function off course.
Asus p5n-d mobo e8400 pro geforce 9800gtx+ 1 x ide with xp and 1 x sata with xp
Installed a new second Sata looking to get rid of the ide drive after install
everything disconnected except the new sata and a sata optical
Install hangs doesn't even get started many attempts.
Booted up existing xp on the existing sata drive and inserted windows 7 install disk. This caused the system to completely freeze no mouse movement nothing.
Booted up system with xp on old ide drive and inserted windows 7 install and it worked!
Had the install load windows 7 on the new sata drive.
All is ok but to load windows 7 now i have to boot via the old ide drive.
booting up from the new sata drive fails. so obviously can't get rid of old ide drive now.
So any ideas as to why the above has happened??(am suspecting sata driver issues)
And also is there a workaround to do a clean install direct to my new sata drive?
Has anyone had any joy installing Windows 7 Ultimate x86 onto a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe?
I have a RAID0 configured using the Silicon Raid chip. I've had this running under XP, XP64, Vista64 previously.
During the install I get to the prompt (the old F6 prompt) to load drivers, I have download some drivers from ASUS, Silicon and MS but none seem to work.
I don't think it is the RAID0 that is really an issue as I also have another disk connect to the Silicon chip, that is not configured for RAID but it fails to detect that drive as well.
I've followed a few threads on here and other websites, but I cannot seem to get around this.
I've tried:
Silicon Image - Support | Search Results Microsoft Update Catalog Some of these, but there are loads.
