Solve : Video Driver Issue? |
|
Answer» HELLO, I am having an issue with my video driver. THe mobo is a EPIA-M I am working in windows xp pro. The PROBLEM is that when i download the video driver off there website it says that I MUST update my bios. Unfortunately i am unable to do that. So I tried just installing the driver without updatin the bios and after doing so it will black screen after the win xp loading bar. I am then forced to reboot in VGA mode in order to see anything. I uninstall the driver and reboot and it will work once then install the driver again and I have to start all over... when i do a fresh install of the OS, i do get display but I get the error in device manager. Does anyone maybe have a link to the old driver or maybe a generic driver that I can use? PS sorry for my horrible grammar >http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html Open it, click Computer, then Summary. In the upper menu, go to Report>Quick Report-Summary Save it in a text file, and paste it in your next post. Don't include anything under the line Debug - PCI Also, can you post a screen shot of device manager? The Drivers I am installing are from http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/downloads.jsp?motherboard_id=81#Driver They are what cause me to black screen after the loading bar forcing me to reboot in VGA mode. The report you requested is attached [Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]Have you recently reinstalled the OS? You NEED to install the chipset driver.The only drivers available are the ones from that link I posted. I am having trouble finding the chipsetI'll guess it's this one: 4in1_v_443.zip (1.11M) DownloadThe 4 in 1 did nothing for me in terms of fixing the device manager issue. Ok. And why are you unable to update the bios?I should have said that I have never done it actually. The directions they give are kind of confusing infact the first step is 1) Install Win98 DOS on HDD Which is why I was wondering if there are any other alternativesI would forget about a BIOS update and concentrate on finding and installing the proper MBoard drivers... They are clearly missing according to the pic you posted.I have looked high and low and am unable to find them anywhere.. I have resorted to emailing VIA and asking them for the proper drivers. But I dont have much faith at this point hahaUnless it's a VIA motherboard you're looking in the wrong place... Many many MBoards use a VIA chipset...however the proper drivers will be from the BOARD manuf. site... This is because there are many more components on a MBoard other than just the VIA chipset.It is a VIA mobo... Here is your chipset driver. http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/VIA_HyperionPro_V524A.zip Furthermore, you are only running 128MB of RAM. This is too low for XP. I would suggest switching to a different operating system or adding more RAM. You have two empty RAM slots. |
