Please help with driver and RAM issue
So I've racked my brain, and can't think of anything. Maybe it's because I still don't know seven too well, only been using it about 1 week. LOVING it so far. (coming from an linux enthusiast that's saying something). Anyhoo, here's my problem
I just built a new system and installed seven on it too. Couldn't get the drivers for my gtx 285 working. First I couldn't get the auto run to run, so I copy the folder off cd to desktop, and click setup... it does nothing. 7 found my card and installs drivers, but it's found as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." I look at nvidias website, they say just run windows updates, I did... it didn't find anything. While in windows update I installed the update for my on board network port, and after the restart... LAN quit working, had to uninstall LAN, and re-install without update to get it to work again. I also have a bunch of "System Interrupt controllers" under Other Devices. I supposedly installed my chipset drivers, etc off the MB cd (sound works fine), but I think Device manager is telling me they aren't working. After a bit I installed 181.22 vista drivers for graphics card, and it seems to have solved video issues, however, there is still these system interrupt contollers... ALSO, another real biggie is that seven is only seeing 4 of my 6 gigs of ram. I checked BIOS, and it's seeing all 6, but boot into windows, and it only shows that I have 4... anyone have any ideas?
