| 280562 | 2004-10-13 01:09:00 | Your video card drivers seem up to date, you dont need the motherboard/IGP drivers as they are for motherboards with a different chipset to yours. You want to consider installing the latest version of DX9.0 if you having problems in games. You'll need to update the drivers for your motherboard chipset (655TX) and the drivers for your third party RAID controller. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 280563 | 2004-10-13 01:26:00 | I downloaded the Asus drivers and got an AMI file, sorry if this is a newbie question but what am I to do with that? | Mercenary (6268) | ||

I'd probably just delete it and go to this (www.asus.com.tw) webpage and download the SoundMAX, LAN, SIS Mini IDE, SIS USB Enhanced Host Controller, SIS RAID, and SIS AGP drivers. Make sure you get the drivers that match your OS. |

| 280565 | 2004-10-13 02:27:00 | All those files have now been installed. I tried dling the bios file, d10008, but it is only an AMI. Will I even need that? Anyways the crashes I'm getting are mostly of "System failed CPU test" type. How can those be fixed? | Mercenary (6268) | ||
| 280566 | 2004-10-13 02:53:00 | If you dont know how to flash a BIOS then its probably not a good idea to try, if you do something wrong then its bye bye motherboard. That error message is probably specific to your motherboard, perhaps try reading the motherboard manual to see what it means or contact ASUS by email. You mentioned in another thread that you have problems installing windows to your SATA harddrive, try using the other SATA connectors provided by the second SATA controller. I wouldnt expect the SATA controller provided by the SIS southbridge to cause any problems. |

| 280567 | 2004-10-13 03:02:00 | Hm I don't think so. its a pretty well-documented problem that this particular setup i have has, that it doesnt support cds until you get the raid drivers on there, but the drivers come on CD's , anyways everywhere on the internet I checked suggested the use of floppy disks for the first time boot, and I did so. | Mercenary (6268) | ||
| 280568 | 2004-10-13 03:13:00 | Seeing as you cant tell me what SATA controller your using i'll anything you say in regards to your harddrive with a grain of salt. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 280569 | 2004-10-13 19:21:00 | Now I've gotten a crash that said "Kernel data error" or something to that effect, on a blue screen, the symptoms of which remind me of my earlier HD temporarily undetected errors. | Mercenary (6268) | ||
| 280570 | 2004-10-13 19:38:00 | Now I'm back to where I was the other day. Constantly crashing as soon as its started. I tried unplugging and replugging the harddrive again (as that was what allowed me to use the computer yesterday) but now when I replug it it doesn't even recognize that a HD is attached and yet still crashes anyways (whereas if I boot without the HD it says no HD attached but does not crash). Should I just buy a new HD or what? | Mercenary (6268) | ||
| 280571 | 2004-10-13 19:54:00 | If the hard drive is "a couple of months" old, I would take it back to where you purchased it from, and get them to test it, as it will be under warranty . If that's not an option you could take it to a local PC store and get them to test it? At least then you could eliminate the hard drive as a cause of the problems you are having :-) |
