Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. Attempted to install latest nvidia display drivers yesterday and after removing the old 169.21 attempted to install the new beta 169.44, only to be met with the message "the drivers of this installation cannot find any hardware to support"? or something along those lines anyway. So naturally I tried to go back to the previous WHQL 169.21 which last worked and was met with the same above message. Then when I attempted to re-boot, the machine was incredibly slow at start-up and when recognising all drives etc on the post screen, usually they are so fast you can barely read them but this was not the case. So I accessed the bios and this was running ridiculously slow too, literally a delay of 5secs before accessing the next option whilst navigating the bios. At first I thought it was my CPU as I have been running a mild overclock of 13x Multi x 219Mhz DDR and thought the worst. So I am still in possession of my old board from my last rig so set that up and the processor works fine in that, also I have tried taking out the memory and I'm still experiencing the same results. Also, I tried to put my old 3700+ single core in the faulty board and it would not post at all. Has anyone ever come across or heard of any faulty chipsets with these boards? The combination of it not recognising DVD-drives, hard-drives etc leads me to believe it might be the chipset?
