Installs of Xp, vista, and windows 7 have all been unable to find the
ethernet controller driver. its onboard LAN but is constantly listed as
ethernet controller ( with the lil yellow icon) in device manager.i
have the mobo cd and installed all of the stuff out of autorun. later i
got desperate and found 3 lan drivers in the cd, but none of them seem
to work ( maybe for other models of the board).
pretty annoyed, just want ethernet to work.
on
this same board, i tried installing my gigabit PCI card and my MSI
wireless PCI card..... neither seem to work, but its possible these are
broken.... the motherboard itself is brand new ( never been used )

- Yes I did. "found 3 lan drivers in the cd, but none of them seem
to work ( maybe for other models of the board)."
The autorun setup installed a bunch of chipset and audio drivers. The ethernet still wasnt showing up after reboot. so i manually located drivers on the cd. there was (3com, reltek, and some other brand.) but none of these worked.
manually browse to the ehternet folder on the disk and point it to 3com folder, it will install from there - took me a while to work this out but i have IS7 board too and i'm using it now on vista to type this so you know it works!
Be sure to also install the chipset drivers, if that is missing it would explain why so many things do not work. If they still do not work after installing these, I would recommend returning it to the store and getting a replacement, it could be a lemon.
No video; no video card works, but existing card works in other computer. Suspect MoBo. Any quick...

Hi all. I am having an interesting issue that has escalated. I have had problems before loading WIN onto this motherboard in as much as if my 6GB drive is hooked-up and defined in CMOS, the PC will not boot from the CD. I thought it had something to do with that drive, so I have moved it to the 'slave' and installed another HDD as the 'Master', but I still can't boot & install WIN from CD, as long as they are defined in CMOS. I have boot sequence setup to only use the CD drive - when I have HDD defines in CMOS, I get and error stating that it cannot boot from the CD. But, if I have HDD hooked up but not defined, it will boot from the CD fine. In the past, with the 6GB drive as the only HDD, WIN would recognize that the HDD was there during the installation and then it would become defined in the CMOS. Any ideas?
