kouhii00 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Do you have your chipset drivers installed? Don't use the one that came with Windows Vista. Here is my device manager (Vista 32-bit). Before when I had Vista 64-bit installed it (device manager) looks the same as my 32-bit right now. Have you checked what the 2 "!" marks are?

goatsniffer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I would get the latest x64 drivers from your manufacturers website for your chipset, video, and network. Then do whatever has to be done to make them available during windows installation. That might mean making a custom install disc. If you can't do that, at least make sure you install your chipset drivers absolute first before any other hardware / software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boifido Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hope this satisfies What would chipset drivers be for me? would they be the nforce 4 sli intel from the nvidia.com website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatsniffer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 no, they would be from the ASUS website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kouhii00 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 My motherboard's chipset is GM965 and southbridge is 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) as you can see those devices under "System Devices" in the Device Manager screen shot that I posted to you. I believe right now your system is using the "Generic" windows drivers. So you should find out what kind of chipset you have and install it see if that helps.

Boifido Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 I,m at the asus download page for my mobo and all of the nvidia chipset drivers are for windows xp only and not even 64 bit really :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak_power Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think i know what's your problem. In device manager you have nforce4 ata/sata drivers installed? How's that possible? Also what's that ACPI utility device installed? I noticed that your Raid called Nvidia Stripe 492Gb uses generic drivers, better say drivers installed by Vista.

Boifido Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Sorry about not responding, I had to get some sleep after being awake for 20 hours and fiddleing with this for 12 hours :crazy: What do you mean nforce 4 sata drivers? What is the problem with that? I have installed the nForce 4 sli intel drivers from the nvidia website, I cant find chipset drivers on asus that run with vista, I tried downloading a 64 bit one that said it would work with 64 bit XP, but it understandably gave an error message. Nothing on asus's site for my mobo is made for vista, period >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.ed Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 To the original poster: You said you have 4 gigs of ram... if so, are they 4 pieces of 1GB dimms? If so, then try removing only one of them, as to leave only three banks used, and one unused. Boot you computer that way, and see if the problem persists. If it works correctly with an open bank, reply to this post, and ill help you sort the problem. It seems its a documented problem that a lot of people are experiencing, myself included.

Mr.ed Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Then you should check the remaining ram for it to be seated properly. Remove them, and insert them again. Also, always remember to discharge yourself by touching an unpainted part of the computer case... static is a ram killer, as well as other things.

Boifido Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Got my computer booting again. CRAP With 3 gigs of ram it boots in less than 10 seconds :laugh: What should I do now? I really want to use 4 Gigs since they were so expensive and for direct x 10 gaming and other tasks! I love Vista 64 bit now, it's faster than 32 bit for me, now I'm directing my anger to my mobo (Is this the correct place for anger focusing? :happy:) Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.

Mr.Ed Yup, this thread makes me look like a computer idiot, normaly I can solve problems, but I'm quite tired of troubleshooting this. I have built two computers by myself and know about static, but after doing beta testing for various programs and beta testing vista from beta 2, I'm tired of reinstalling windows so I'm not thinking properly this time.

viper008 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Could it be that I have 4 Gigs of ram?My motherboard is a P5N 32 SLi SE Deluxe. I'm wondering if the 32 means it only works with 32 bit properly and because of that only supports 2 gigs of ram? Hi, I had this same exact problem with with my P5N32 SLI Deluxe The problem is with the BIOS does not fully support 64 EMT part of the cpu its why it runs so slow, so you will need to upgrade to a better MB to use 64 Bit OS. (On boot up the screen it should say 64 EMT detected or something slimier) Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.ed Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 All right. If it works with the 3 gigs, the you have the problem of ram addressing. You said you have an nforce motherboard... right? Then , you have to go to the Bios settings and look for the extended memory addressing. Almost always is: "Extended memory remapping". Just check for memory remapping, and enable it.After enabling it, and rebooting to check everything is working normally, shut down the computer. Install the 4th memory again, and boot. See if that helps.Remember to leave the memory remapping enabled for it to work with the 4 memory modules.Let me know how this works.

My old P5N32 SLI Deluxe is also capable running the 64 bit os, I couldn't becuase the bios support for wasn't their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the BIOS didn't fully support 64-bit then Vista wouldn't run at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect that. But thats not his problem, because as you can read, when he removed 1 memory module, his Vista x64 worked fast again. And in respect to Bios support for x64 OS, they dont necessarily need to say EMT64 for it to support it. If they dont support it, them most probably the x64 installation will tell you that that version isnt supported on your computer. Problem Status: FixedThank you, to everyone who helped.
