this is a bit late, maybe you'll check, sorry. The problem was that the daughter board that goes in the pci 1x slot was disabled (due to the pci 1x slot being disabled in the bios... ) the update did indeed fix this, in so much as I guess it turned ME on to noticing the setting when I...

yeah but the overdrive panel shows the speed change during testing, when running games in window'd mode I'd assume it'd show the current clock speed, in the current clock speed section, this remains 777mhz UNLESS I'm testing a clock speed in the test function. ...it does not change at all...

It's unlocked, everything seems to "work" ok, I choose a speed, hit test, the current gpu/memory speeds change as its testing, it says passed, I hit accept and it just stays at 777mhz, it changes the clock speeds fine when its testing the new settings but never implements them...

Yeah, I just noticed that was what they were talkig about after downloading the self installer, no dice. and every reboot, I have to wait for it to not configure and to reboot again, really becoming annoying....

uhm, no... entrapment is when you pressure someone into it without them choosing to do so on their own, ie if you were working with them for that company and you went to your dads house on a call and you kept telling your partner, hey man, steal that chip, put this one in, do it...do...

Ok it was a series of unfortunate events that led to this a) when I first installed my hd3870 it took over my audio... I'd already had my bios flash ready for my mobo to fix some known issues and didn't think about it, I just flashed it next time I booted, the onboard sound was on...

the question I have is if they were hired to simply remove spyware ( which as far as I can think, has no possible reasoning in opening the chassis up, much less poking the hardware) did he not notice them with his case open and dicking around with the internals? robf

I think per your sound issues you're experiencing perhaps the same thing I am. While the device shows to be working, when testing the sound the eq will show a spike in the OS (it's going to SOME device, just not the one you think it is) , the trickery is that it may be your on video card...

This is a cross post as I posted it already in motherboards section, but thought maybe it's better suited here since it's really not just a problem with the mobo. I have an Asus Maximus Extreme mobo, Intel Q6600 cpu, and an ATI HD3870, and vista ultimate 32bit. I don't think this is...

I've tried I don't know how many times with the 32b stand alone installer, always fails, when you say it failed then installed 5 times in a row, what do you mean? everytime it fails, another note: it appears to have installed (doesn't show up in updates) however a few moments later...

same problem here, I think, only it says cannot update files needed blah blah blah, will try to restart and complete, tries on shutdown, coulkd not configure, reverting, reboots, tries again could not configure, reverting.... any ideas? same vista ultimate 32b here.

it's an AMI bios, I doubt the soundchip is broken, I've seen a few others with this problem elsewhere. I think what is occurring is that the HD3870 video card (ATI) has this little pointlesss (for the semi casual power gamer who could care less about hidef audio) HD audio codec chip on the...

I just built this box, with a maximus extreme / ati hd3870 / q6600 and 32bit vista, When installing the mobo drivers the sound driver fails, running it says "The audio driver files do not support you computer hardware" and says something about if I uninstalled drivers and have not...
