Hi all,
I recently put in an Asus A7V333 motherboard and reinstalled XP fresh. I didn't notice that anything was wrong until I'd enter a game and it would be extremely laggy and jerky (sometimes waiting a couple of minutes inbetween frames in Civ3!). I found out that the fan on my graphics card would stop spinning once XP loaded the welcome screen. So, I did a driver roll back to the default VGA drivers for XP. It was nasty but the fan kept spinning. However, XP would immediately detect the FX card and reinstall the drivers I just rolled back from. The screen would flicker and the fan would stop.
I was able to get the fan to continue spinning once I installed the nVidia drivers from the CD that came with my card. The drivers I had installed before were the 56.xx.
I called Asylum tech support and he had me check some bios settings and said everything was correct and I should contact Asus. I've flashed the Asus bios to 1018 (the latest). What can I do? Everything runs now but I'm running on old drivers and I would like to have the most up to date drivers if possible. I haven't been able to find anyone else with the same problem with my motherboard.
As a side note, this card had been working fine on my older Asus board (board was about 3-4 years old).
Thanks for any help.
