Hi,
Just built my new pc, having a few problems with it though. Due to all the crap that comes with my asus board ive been having a few bsod's where the software is conflicting with itself. most strange. incase anyone is interested, it appears smart cool conflicts with asus enhanced drivers, so i've removed both of them, i dont even know what the enhanced drivers do.
anyhow all that stuff is gone. to my belief, i should now just have nvidia drivers for my asus 7600gt of version 8.3.9.1
however for some reason whenever i double click on nvidia control panel within windows control panel, it doesnt actually do anything, as if it wasnt there.
so i thought i'd download the latest nvidia drivers and give them a go (latest being 9.1.3.1) and then install them, which i did, then i restart, then........nothing. windows loading screen comes up, then it all goes black and just sits there. so i have to reboot, go to last know good configuration, and im back where i started.
has anyone got any ideas? i dont really know to much about drivers so any help would be greatly appreciated.
specs:
-asus a8n32 sli deluxe BIOS v.1009 (which we flashed the CMOS once already due to an ACPI issue that it was having)
-asus geforce 7600gt silent on above mentioned drivers
-most of the asus rubbish software and whatnot removed.
-dont know if anymore is relevant
(i dont really get what the chipset drivers are for the mb, hope i havent deleted those aswell, any idea how i'd find that out? or would i of noticed by now)
pleeeease help me work out whats goin on. as it is, everything is working at the mo, but i dont like letting things just sit there not working. its bugging me why i cant see the nvidia control panel even though the icon for it is there!!!
cheers
