ASUS P4P800-e deluxe help
Hey guys,
A while ago, back in high school about 6 years ago, I built a desktop with the help of you guys (motherboard being the ASUS P4P800-e deluxe)... Since then, due to family using downloading and abusing the hell out of it I was forced to completely wipe out the hard drive. I originally just wanted to reinstall XP, but I didn't have any of the discs, so without researching it at all, I simply installed Windows 7 on it. Installation went surprisingly smooth, but now my problem is that I can't install any drivers for my motherboard because drivers weren't made for Vista for Win7. I've heard some people mentioning that they used old drivers, but I'm not really familiar with that. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks a lot, Jason

Does it look like anything is missing/flagged in the device manager?

There's a very good chance that drivers for everything are included in Windows 7.

Device manager is fine... The computer as a whole runs nice, no problems with win7 really... but i'm getting crashes from installing games (WoW),which is preventing installation as a whole. I think it's because of my motherboard drivers not be updated...?

Nope. If device manager is clean, it's not motherboard drivers. It's a lot more likely it's your video drivers. Go to nvidia.com and get the latest drivers.

In Advanced System Settings > Startup and Recovery, uncheck the 'Automatically restart' box. Then try again and when it gives you the BSOD write down the code then post back.

I would download and install WhoCrashed 3.01 free home edition. Many times it will tell you exactly which driver is causing the issue, it reads the minidump file. I have had pretty good success with it. Fast as well.

Nice find. Finally debugging that doesn't require the cryptic MS Debugging tools.

Why aren't you using the onboard LAN adapter?

If the you're not using the onboard NIC, disable it in the BIOS setup. Disable Wake-on LAN too whilst you're at it.
