4-0 DRIVER INSTALLATION

After your computer’s Operating System is installed, you will need to install drivers for your motherboard in order to gain full operation. Insert the Driver Installation CD into your computer’s CD or DVD ROM drive and allow the autorun function to bring up the installation menu.

If the autorun function is disabled on your computer, simply navigate to the CD or DVD ROM drive that the Driver Installation CD is located in and double-click the autorun.exe file.

From Driver installation menu choose from driver options that will allow you to install the following drivers:

NVIDIA Chipset Drivers

ALC850 AC97’ Codec Audio Drivers

After your computer finishes this installation, it will need to reboot in order for the new drivers to take effect.

NOTE: If you are installing drivers under the Windows XP x64 operating system, please be warned that the drivers have not yet been certified by Microsoft. As a result, you will see repeated warnings to this effect. Simply answer each in the affirmative to allow driver installation to proceed. Windows certified drivers are currently in development and will be released as a free download from our website as soon as they have passed Microsoft certification testing.
