Z97 Gaming 3 chipset driver issue. Any ideas?

Hey peeps!:)
I got the Z97 Gaming 3 mobo. Installed every driver from MSI's website.
But when I look up at the device manager the system devices... the:
-Intel(R) Z97 Chipset LPC Controller - 8CC4
- Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 8C90
- Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 - 8C94
- Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family SMBus Host Controller - 8CA2
- Intel(R) 4th Gen Core processor DRAM Controller - 0C00
Are still uses the Microsoft version driver from the date 2006.06.21, driver verion : 6.3.9600.17031
I installed the chipset several times, restarted the PC. No help at all. Tried to manually install the
driver, and browse the driver from hard drive. When it finishes, its says:
 "The best driver for your device is already installed"
Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas guys?:S

its happen to everyone who own z97 or any 9 series chipset. after installing "latest chipset driver" either downloaded from msi or from intel website, device manager still shows that drivers is taken from microsoft and dated 2006.
until intel fixed their crap drivers, nothing that we can do.

  • K9A Platinum Chipset Driver Issue in XP

    hey,  found an old copy of XP Pro in my CD's.  Installed, but having some issues when I am trying to install chipset driver package.  With chipset package it starts up, gets to where you choose 'Express' or 'Custom' (with custom brings up the available installs) then pops up a dialog box saying "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or OS.  Setup will now exit", then another saying "Setup was unable to complete the Installation.  Try to set up your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup"?  My VGA driver package from Sapphire (specifically for my cards installed just fine.
    Any clues as to why?
    (OS is pre SP1, updated before and after trying to install chipset driver package) need help pleeeaase.

    Update to SP2 first.

    Saying that I have tried to load the chipset package both before and after updating Windows.
    Will add this to my signature just so all know that I have updated my Windows.  That would probably be a great  !
    Mainly wondering if this will cause any problems being that I was able to get the VGA loaded for my two Sapphire cards, just don't know if that will also cover my chipset?

  • IBook G4 freezes up when using external firewire drive.  Any ideas??

    I have an external hard drive formatted as Apple Partition Map, with Tiger 10.4.11.  I can boot from that drive, but after a while... say, about a minute after it shows everything on the desktop, the iBook freezes.
    If I start up from the iBook, I have no problem accessing the files and there are no freezes.  I'd like, however, to start up from the external drive during this week while my MacBook Pro is in the shop.  That way, documents, etc. will remain up to date, I can use various applications I'm used to, and won't have to go through the hassle of transferring settings for various programs to the iBook (or the programs themselves).
    Any ideas what's going on here or how to fix it?

    Ronda, we're talking past each other!  I wasn't trying to use a cloned drive (MBP or iBook) in any of this!
    What I had learned from experience (and from advice here and on the net) was that if you wanted to use an external drive with both an iBook and a MacBook Pro, you needed to format the drive as an Apple Partition Map.  And that is true.
    Clearly wrongly, I assumed that if I did a fresh install of Tiger using an Apple Partittion Map, it could boot an iBook.  Clearly, an Intel-Mac installs something in that scenario that makes the drive only bootable from an Intel-Mac.  I had mistakenly thought it was the partition scheme the determined which laptop it could be booted from and used with!
    For my future reference--and for any one else who might be in this situation--here's the solution.
    1.  Format the external hard from the iBook.
    2.  Then connect it to your MBP or other more recent device, and drag your home folder and needed programs over to the drive.
    3.  Now, you can boot the external drive using your iBook. 
    4.  Any changes to documents, mail (e.g., Eudora), etc. will register on that external drive.
    I wish I had thought of that, or been advised to do that.  It would have made short work of reconstructing the MBP's home folder contents on its return--a simple drag and drop operation! 

  • HT201250 Why won't Time Machine won't restore my iphoto library [says there is not enough room on my hard drive.]  Any ideas?

    I've got 20,000 plus photos on my HD [yes, I know, way tooo many].  I'm trying to clean up by storing them on an external HD, but for several months I've not been able to export iphoto [even geniuses can't figure out why].  So as a work around, I'm trying to export events and albums to external.  However, I realized that I didn't export in the original format making the files too small.  Now, I just want to restore my iphoto library to the date before I started this process and when I try to restore from Time Machine, it comes up with an error message that I don't have enough room on my HD.  Any ideas out there?  [The reason I want to restore is because I started to delete some of the iphoto files from my HD to clean it up and I want to get back to the original format for export].

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • P45 Platinum Chipset & VREG Waterblocks - any ideas?

    Hi folks,
    ... i have desperately searched the web for this until I got (literally) blue in the face .... to no avail.    Any ideas anyone? 
    Has anyone ever tried to make this conversion to mainbaord watercooling w/ 'universal' waterblocks or ones that can be modified to fit?
    Particularly the VREG/MOSFET blocks seem to represent a real challenge, NB/SB most likely don't...
    Appreciate your helpful info but I don't expect any miracles, though ...   
    Cheers
    Plati45

    @ Henry
    .. thanks for your hints. When I installed this board the first time, I removed the "circu-pipe" mainboard cooler (which is a one-piece job interconnecting NB,SB & 2 VRMs) in order to replace the thermal pads with good thermal grease and the push-pins with nuts and bolts. A look at the VRM/MOSFET surfaces then showed no difference compared to those of other mobos. And yes, under OC loads they do get hot ... 
    In due course I don't think the surfaces represent any problem, but their shapes/sizes and mounting holes (those of the big (rear) heat sink ("DrMOS" labeled) and the very small one on top above the CPU do. Sure I could use NB/SB waterblocks only and saw off the heat pipes right at the lower end of the rear heatsink, but I simply don't want to destroy that neat "circu-pipe" construction....       
    After all, I think I might leave the whole thing as it is and switch to an X58/Sandy Bridge platform supported by mainstream waterblock makers earlier than planned ... sometime next year...       
    @ Jack:
    .... thanks for the info. Yes, Watercool do have the right "universal" SB/NB waterblocks, but none at all to fit the VRM/MOSFETs. Not even Coolance who offer also "universal" VRM/MOSFET waterblocks have anything that would even remotely fit. 
    Thanks anyway -  it is good to have all facts confirmed by you guys .....

    The problem is that you are using a png, and IE6 does not support png transparency. You could try using the iepngfix from - http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/.

  • Photo files disapearing from hard Drive while using Lighroom not relink issue, any ideas?

    I've been using Lightroom and while using it files have been disappearing, I understand how to relink the files, it's not that.
    The file folders are showing up but the files are missing. Not all files are affected. They haven't been in my trash.
    Seagate have sent me a 'What a shame, it's not our fault email' Won't be buying any more of their products. They say it's a lightroom / Mac OS problem.
    Does anyone know how I can retreive these missing files? If they've had the same problem? Thank you.

    Does anyone know how I can retreive these missing files?
    Restore from your backup copies
    Download and install an "undelete utility" (there are free ones available) and see if it can recover the files

  • Z97 Gaming 5 Sumbus driver and Killer Nic Driver?

    After having installed my Msi MB Z97 in the device manager their is the "Smbus" not having a driver. Now I know that usually intels inf drivers come into play here. But after installing them its still in the unknown device category. I went to MSI's website and the inf drivers on their are the same as intel's site. Is this just a case of the drivers aren't out yet or am I missing something. Also is their just a driver for the Killer Nic without all the software that it installs? Just a basic driver for internet...
    Thanks

  • Z97 Gaming 9 AC big ISSUE on BIOS

    I'm very angry!
    I've just bought this mobo but the BIOS doesn't update any way!!! The Live Update doesn't recognize the new version (1.4) and if I update
    via M-Flash (on bios) it block in 100% and I have to reset.
    Any help??? 

    Hi Lion,
    Not that I want to hijack your post but I'm having the same issue. Prior to coming to the forums i to updated my bios through the M-Flash tool up to 1.4.
    I can no longer boot from the first bios. Computer will power on and just sit there, won't even show bios screen. How were you able to reset it back? I haven't been able to find a way how. I tried to do it through M-Flash by copying the second bios over the first one but that doesn't work.
    After coming to the forum I did try using the bootable USB method but it tells me that the program isn't supported.

  • Macbook pro system running slow - etrecheck shows issues - any idea how to apply fixes?

    Hi I normally consider myself pretty web savvy but I'm totally lost on what to do here. This computer has been running slow since I got it, but the harddrive went sideways recently. I've never worked with a recovered drive - which I apparently have as my terminal lists my workfolder-2 so....I'm guessing I'm pretty screwed.
