ASUS P5N32-SLI DELUXE drivers

[mesteele101]

I have an Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard with 4 GB of memory, an ATI 4800 series Video, running the latest BIOS version 502. My primary HD is a Raptor 150DB and my secondary is a 400GB WD. My DVD is a Plextor PX-775A. They are all SATA.

This problem crosses both platforms; 32bit and 64bit, It also does not matter if I have upgraded or preformed a fresh install of Windows 7.

Note: This problem has been apparent in EVERY official release of Windows 7 and all leaks up though the last leak of 7264 (64 bit).

Note: This problem does NOT happen in Vista, either platforms (32 or 64 bit).

I have absolutely no problem installing Windows 7. It runs absolute smoothly after the install. The problem happens when transferring single large files. I get a BSOD after a few minutes into the transfer. This also happens when Acronis does a backup of the system.

I did buy and install a new Gigabyte motherboard and new memory. The problem went away, as I knew it would. However Windows 7 ran so much slower I RMA'ed the motherboard and memory.

I feel that it might be the chipset drivers? Which I have installed the Vista64 bit chipset driver, which seemed to cause the BSOD even faster.

The dump file was analyzed and I was told it was pointing to an nvida driver problem with my video?

The strange thing is; Vista is running absolutely flawless.

TIA...

I have the same MB and amount of memory running x64. 8800GTS as video card. not sure the bios version since i have to restart. I have had "0" problems with Beta and RC.

Yea, it's just odd. Why would I have a 100% Vista and then a Fresh install of Windows 7 screw up on just file transfers. If you could check your BIOS version?

looks like i see a difference in our boards. I have the P5N32-SLI and you have the Deluxe. Sorry i didnt know of the bat if i had the deluxe or not. I have bios version 1205 which i see they dont even have as a download anymore. Will i upgrade it? well they say if it aint broke dont fix it

I have the plus version of that board in my second pc. I often had problems with the Nvidia storage drivers. Which one's are you using as I stick with MS drivers without issues.

On a fresh install I use what Windows 7 has installed. I've also tried the Latest nvidia drivers for Vista after a clean install.

The transfer starts then it states it is so far complete then the screen goes black for a short period then flashes back to the desktop, leaving any open windows black and AREO has been disabled becyse I can see the taskbar at the bottom. I have to restart toi get out of it.

have you checked ALL the cables in your pc? You might just need to unplug, and plug back in power, sata connectors. try that out, that is if you lan a lot or just moved your pc in some way. good luck man.

It is running as is right now, no problem. Swapped motherboars and reseated all the cables when I reinstalled my old motherboard. I haven't tried a Windows 7 install again, but will shortly.

This was solved. The P5N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard had a problem with the USB drivers that were being installed with Windows 7 BETA. The correct drivers are now being installed with Windows 7 and the problem is resolved.
