I've been floating around seven forums for awhile as a guest because i could get most of the info i wanted by not having to ask.It's come to a point now where i would like a second opinion(s) on updating my Motherboard chipset, Basically ive installed a new/old (depends on how you look at it) and have not installed any drivers for the chipset from ASUS. My Motherboard is this ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download M4A77TD and the drivers are kind of out of date on the ASUS site but i did find AMD do chipset drivers too AMD Chipset Drivers now i'm unsure or at least i need a second opinion(s) on this but would it be ok to install the AMD version as they seem up to date or should i stick to the ASUS site?
I have a Gateway DX4720 and was checking out how up to date its drivers are. Using Device Manager I checked out Nvidia (ver. 8.17.125896) and did the automatic internet search, resulting in my driver was up to date. However, I noted on Gateway's site that there was a Nvidia chipset driver (package 15.45) available for download. I am confused, do I need to install it or not?
finally my new computer rig arrived today, but my problem is the store has already installed everything on it including windows 7 ulitmate and its intel drivers etc.. the problem is they used the DVD that comes with the motherboard so its an old drivers being installed in my desktop.. how to update this drivers? intel chipset drivers, realtek HD audio etc? i have already downloaded before hand the drivers for it, but i dont know how to install this when they have alread
I am building a new computer and confused by something. The new 1155 mobos seem to have video VGA and DVI ports, but no graphics chipset. Was wondering what this meant? Does it mean the chipset has to come from the intel chip or does there have to be a separate graphics card? If a seperate card, why put the ports on the mobo in the first place?
I have installed Windows 7 64 bit with a P5KC motherboard. I have updated to the latest drivers published by Intel, but when I run any one of the many driver update "check" programs, they all consistently report my drivers are out of date, particularly USB host controller and p35 express chipset PCI root port. Not really familiar with what they all mean.
The only symptom I have is that certain software designed to do its own back ups (eg Quicken) fail to back up to a USB drive. They report the drive is not ready, but I can copy directly to the drive manually. Am i being conned by these check up applications?
i installed windows 7 build 7100 RC 32bit build on a desktop. Its a custom build pc so i don't have much info about it. I ran Intel chipset identification and go this:
I need to download the chipset driver. Can anyone help me please?
I'm trying to install updated chipset drivers. I downloaded nForce 680i SLI from the nvidia website. When I run install, it asks me to select what I want to install and gives only 2 choices: nvidia ethernet driver, and nvidia storage driver. Those aren't the chipset drivers, are they?
I've tried installing nforce4_amd_winvistax64_15.00_english_whql driver on my secondary rig (A8N-SLI), and most everything appears to have installed properly, except the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Just as with my primary rig (A8N32-SLI Deluxe) was before driver installation, it lists 3 of 3 different items, for a total of 9.
After installation on the primary, it consolidates these into just 5 items, with two of them relabled Nvidia nForce Serial ATA Controller. I've tried the installation 3 times with the same results. The two motherboards are so similar, I expected the same results on each. This leaves me wondering if it is a matter of driver version, or just some unchangeable difference in hardware?
i have a radeon 2600 hd pro 512 (agp) and im using a Abit AV8 motherboard which is a VIA motherboard not nforce i have tried all the drivers, nothing works, tried the original ati drivers nope, tried the sapphire drivers nope, why make a card that ain't gonna work on windows 7
I'm unsure exactly how to choose what chipset I want to buy for him. Previously, I just sort of looked at each of my available motherboard options, and chose which one had the requirements I was looking for. However, my friend is on a budget, so I feel like buying a specific chipset might be a better, cheaper option (instead of buying one with the ports that he wants, but with other ports he doesn't need).Is there an easy way to compare the different chipsets? The Wikipedia article is somewhat useful, but also seems to have some inconsistancies (I own a Z68 motherboard with USB 3.0 support, something the Wikipedia article doesn't list). Then again, perhaps this is normal for motherboards,To elaborate on my friend's preferences, he has no need for any integrated graphics, and would be.interested in future-proofing (SATA III, USB 3, PCI-e 3), if the price is right. He'll be buying an Ivy Bridge LGA 1155.
i installed all the intel drivers in device manager. and i used Version: 9.1.1.1019. for some reason some updated to Version: 9.1.1.1005 and some updated to Version: 9.1.1.1013 and none went to Version: 9.1.1.1019. any one have any ideas why it did not goto Version: 9.1.1.1019 on atleast some of them.
I have a Dell workstation (Precision 670) with a single Xeon Irwindale 3.4 GHz and I installed windows 7 x64. I am ok with all of my devices, some drivers are windows 7, my wireless adaptor is a vista driver that works fine, and the rest are Microsoft generic (chipset etc). I tried to intsall the latest intel inf using -OVERWRITE but it didn't update anything from the E7525 related devices. I know this chipset is old but its the first time that a Windows 7 instalation gives me worst benchmarks compared to XP even with generic chipset drivers.Anyway the thing I would like to ask is if anyone knows in what OS did they stop the support for E7525, so if it is Vista I could try to use the Vista drivers in some way... Intel gives no info, they just have one single file for 5 OS's and 40 chipsets
right direction for the chipset drivers for Intel 945 Express?On the intel site I have found this link but it only appears to be available for the RC version. � INF Update Utility - Primarily for Intel® 5, 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets?
Just wondering if anyone else is using this chipset and what drivers you are using?
EDIT: i advise not to try the xp drivers they messed up my install, i am using the ones supplied with win update but im sure something is missing, in my device manager it has a unknown pci device, i don't have this in xp on the same machine...??
allowing Windows 7 to operate 160 Gb IDE HDD in UDMA mode. My Notebook HP Omnibook xe4500 is 8 years old with a recent HDD :
- CPU: P4 on ALi M1671 ALADDiN-P4 chipset - RAM: 1152 Mb (128 Mb SDR 133 + 1024 Mb DDR 266) - HDD: 160 Gb (Samsung HM160HC) - Video : ATI Mobility Radeon AGP - M6 Mobility - Audio : Ali M5451 - DVD/RW: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SN-S082H
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate from the scratch because processing from Win XP SP3 has always blocked and never finished. Before PC was worked fine with XP.But Windows 7 is working very very slowly because 160 Gb IDE HDD is driven by ATA CHANNEL 0 (atapi.sys and atapiport.sys) controller is in PIO 4 mode instead of UDMA mode (5 or 6), this is keeping the CPU always busy and the PC unavailable for any task.Therefore the DVD/RW driver is on ATA CHANNEL 1 and set without problem to UDMA 2 by Windows 7.Within that IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller section, there is a third controller ULi M5229 PCI MASTER IDE.For information, HDD is seen by the bios (M1.94 last from HP) as a 137 Gb disc (maximal capacity allowed by that bios).Program 4008.exe allows Win XP tomanage IDE HDD with a capacity beyond 137 Gb by installing SCSI/RAID Host Controller with another IDE controller , Ali Ultra IDE (alihdd.sys), both allow to pilot that IDE HDD as a scsi device and walking around 137 Gb limitation.But installation of 4008.exe in Windows 7 hangs system by giving a blue screen on each required restart with that message error : 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x85A3CD40, 0x85A3CEAC, 0x82E287B0).I need your support for allowing Windows 7 to setup 160 Gb IDE HDD in UDMA mode and having that PC up running Windows 7 well even its age.
So when my PC boots up i get an error from the GPU telling me i must install the AMD chipset driver.
1: after turning off my anti virus software and firewall and after restarting my computer i install the chipset drivers for the M4A785TD-V EVO from here url...
2: but i still seem to get the message to install the amd chipset driver? I have the latest drivers for my GPU(HIS 5850) 11.2
Why would it still tell me to install the chipset driver if i already have it? infact when i finish installing it i made sure i have the same version of the chipset driver as the one i just downloaded. Is my motherboard faulty? or am i installing it wrong?
I am trying to install an update to my x79 chipset drivers but everytime I run the exe it tells me drivers successfully installed though when I check in device manager they are still the old version and I do not get the installation screen (bars loading and progress) before it went to successfully installed. what I should do to get it to work. Firewall was disabled when I tried.
Needed: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for 945 Chipset-Based Intel Desktop Boards
My Device Manager does not show any drivers as missing but I get a very low graphics score on the Windows Index Experience; it is 2.0.
I think that this may have something to do with the "Media Graphics Accelerator Driver" which will not install ("OS not supported" when using setup). I tried the install for Vista (No.7) from this page:- Download Search Results!
I've read posts here and elsewhere that describe migrating drivers with a driver backup util from Vista and pulling them into Windows 7 via Device Manager but I don't have a Vista installation to be able to do that.
I'd like to have a WIE of 3 or more in order to run Aero but my WIE figures are 3.2/4.6/2.0 (graphics)/3.0/5.9. and I can't see that low base-rate of 2.0 disappearing unless I can install the Graphics Media Accelerator (Intel replied to my query with the standard "not our policy to support future technology etc. etc". (ha ha! nice one Intel)).
I'm running Windows 7 on an Emachines t2862, which has an Intel Integrated Chipset (845g, "Itel Extreme Graphic", specifically).
I've tried installing the XP drivers using the installation as well as the tutorial floating around the forums for installing XP graphic drivers. Both caused Windows to crash shortly after booting. I had plenty of time to open a few programs, but about 45 seconds after booting, Windows simply freezes (mouse included).
I had to boot into safemode and roll the driver back to the standard VGA driver to fix it.
so I bought a ton of pc gear, and finally got it all together. But everytime I try to load the Intel driver (tried through their web service and manually), the screen either freezes or just goes to no signal.
How do I find out if the version of the chipset drivers that Windows 7 RTM 64-bit installed automatically is the same as the latest chipset drivers listed on the ASUS website (model M4A78T-E)?
I then got a BSOD and my boot disk (an SSD) disappeared from the BIOS. I thought I was in big trouble. I have another controller so I plugged the SSD into the other one and booted to it and rolled back to the MS driver (just for the SATA controller). I then put everything back together.
Everything seems to work now. Do I need to take any further steps to prevent this from happening again? What happened?
This is my first post but after searching the internet trying to find RAID drivers to work with 64-bit Windows 7 when using an Asus M3A motherboard, or another model using the ATI SB600 RAID driver, I have discovered a lot of people are having an issue and are having to use IDE emulation mode.
I was lucky to stumble across this post on the AMD forums with a working driver: AMD Game Forums - SB600 RAID driver for Windows 7
If this driver ever gets removed I will keep a copy, please send me a message on this forum and I'll email it to you, it works!
Several people have suggested downloading combinations of drivers or forcing the use of older ones, but this one does work straight away, no hassle.
