Hi

I am currently using this board with Vista Premium x64, I cannot get this board working with the internal HDMI Port.

I have sucessesfully managed to use a DVI to HDMI convertor on my 8800GT to 1080p onto my 37" LG LCD TV, to confirm thats working well.

There is no option in the bios for HDMI interfacing, apart from thinking that having internal graphics enabled.

Also I have tried it using the latest G35 Graphic chipset drivers and I still can't this blinking working.

Can someone help me Please ?
 
Hey

I don't know the solution to your problem but I'm very interested in what you think of the board :p I'm considering getting it for a SFF rig very similar to the one in your sig :)

I'll be using Vista 64bit, though.

After the 10th time and also installed XP then reloaded the system drivers again & still does not work, I think it maybe a faulty HDMI Port.

Intel have released the X3500 - but the driver support is lousy. At least my cheapo Asrock worked in HDMI for the time I had it.

The Asus Board is a PILE OF POOH ! & according to some forums it's riddled with problems. Well I be considering going back to an Asrock 4Core1333-FullHD uATX Motherboard, rock solid performer and much easy to configure even with Vista x64.

Suprisingly Site's have reviewed the Asus, but convienantly not using it's "HDMI" Port. What say's it all. Not Value for Money !

u may wanna research 690G (Out now), 780G and Nvidia 8200 boards that are coming out very soon. All are designed for HTPC use and have HDCP HDMI ports these are whaqt im waiting for on my next HTPC build

The 780G boards are gonna use ATi 3200 onboard graphics with UVD.

The Nvidia's obviously use the 8200 again with UVD.

yes, well it does seem it's a crappy driver issue, i will never buy an Asus board again, how do they get away with selling botched motherboards with crap device driver support.

NEVER AGAIN !
 
2 things,

1. Why use Vista 64 on a HTPC? you'll get better performance under 32bit. I'm running this with a e4500 and blurays play fine at 1080p, which is impressive at 200mhz below the alleged required spec.

2. It's a good board, with good reviews. It's the latest kit and you expect driver support?

BUT, there is a driver update on the intel website for the G35.

good luck getting it working.

vista 32/xp are old tech now, and vista 64 is equal or faster to vista 32/xp in 99.9% of apps.
 
I've bought another Gigabyte DS2R motherboard, fantastic motherboards, rock solid performers with 6000 Series conroes & Quad Q6600.

Currently I got a Celeron D 360 running on this board, with OCZ 4GB Ram & Vista x64. I decided fit a dvi ---> hdmi convertor on my 8800gt to my LG LCD 37" TV, works really well.

Even after upgrading to bios 0405 on the asus, theirs a bug on the P5E VM HDMI board, "Checking NVRAM" appears and refuses to boot, the only way around it is to have the onboard sound activated in the bios.

Even for this problem asus have not released a bios update.

AND YES I HAVE DOWNLOADED & TESTED THE LATEST G35 GRAPHIC DRIVERS TO GET THE HDMI WORKING - BUT NO SUCCESS.

I have a decided to stick with my DS2R, highly Recommended :D
 
Sorry to hear that you had problems with yours mate, everything seems to be working flawlessly in my new rig under Vista x64.
I've got to admit though, never bothered using the integrated HDMI port as I'm using the pc as a gaming rig.
I've got to say, I'd reccomend the board to anyone who wants it as a base for a mini gaming rig, but I'd have to test mine out before recommending it for HTPC use.
