| 452281 | 2006-05-05 09:09:00 | What version of the BIOS is on it?? It looks like the latest 0902 from 24/3/06 fixes a IRQ conflict. A8N5X BIOS version 0902 1- Fixed RIS failed with NV onboard LAN due to IRQ conflict. 2- Fixed system hangs on POST while installing some PCI-E x16 VGA cards. 3- Update AWDFLASH to V1.17 |

| 452282 | 2006-05-05 12:01:00 | it is version 0902 and unless both my case LED readout and the nVidia display are both wrong it isn't overheating it's the nvidia firewall that i cant get rid of gonna try and get rid of everything thru safe mode (for as many times as i've stripped down this vid card i feel like i should buy it dinner or something...) |

| 452283 | 2006-05-05 12:07:00 | The option to turn off the Nvidia firewall maybe in the BIOS. Not on the hard drive. As its onboard the mobo. It's not something XP installed. Look in the manual for the mobo if u have it. |

| 452284 | 2006-05-05 14:30:00 | Nothing in the bios concerning firewall - at least that i can find. I have d/l all the new drivers for chipset and card. Removed via add/remove programs. then booted up in safe mode and used drivercleaner to purge them. then try to reinstall. i can reinstall everything except when i get to the Firewall and Network Interface Manager. it then says that they are already on my system (albeit in a different version) and that I need to uninstall these first. The problem is I can find no way to uninstall them. Not thru add/remove software - nor can i find a way in the bios. |

| 452285 | 2006-05-05 22:13:00 | forums.whirlpool.net.au (forums.whirlpool.net.au) You should be able to uninstall it by going to Windows Add/Remove Programs and selecting NVidia Drivers, and then select the Network Access Manager. Once you've uninstalled the FNAM/Firewall, you will have to redownload the programs you want to install like MSN Messenger - the firewall corrupts the downloads which is why you haven't been able to install MSN Messenger properly. If you try to download and install Java with the Firewall enabled you will have the same corruption problems. If you've downloaded and installed any drivers or programs since installing your NVidia drivers I would actually uninstall them, redownload and reinstall, to be safe because chances are that Firewall has corrupted something during the download and your system will be unstable. I know mine was - I kept getting system freezes and spontaneous reboots. Ever since getting rid of the NAM and redownloading/reinstalling drivers/progs my system has been running with no probs whatsoever. If you do a Google search for "nvidia firewall corrupt" and you can read more on the problems caused by that Firewall and what people have done to deal with them.This may help you |

| 452286 | 2006-05-07 22:58:00 | Well - I think the problem is solved. somehow the bios got tweaked and it started looking for my vid card as a pci not a pci-e. I can only guess that the bios got corrupted when I tried updating awhile ago. I'll check back if this doesn't solve it. |
