    :)I'm pretty sure it cant be found, just because its old and I think Azza is closed down. I have a Azza PT-366X-AV, I been searching all sorts of driver finders and stuff and have yet to see:cry. If someone can confirm this I would appreciate it.:drool Thanx

    I did find this index very useful (prior to this thread) in learning what my motherboard was. Unfortunately it doesnt have any links for the driver/bios for these boards.

    My motherboard is old, maybe like 6-7 years old. I dont remember exactly. Its done well. I've been having some issues that might be related to outdated bios. We dont know. Still waiting for the symptoms to happen again.

    Thanx for the quick response

    Maybe you could tell us about those symptoms. A BIOS update is risky. A failed update can render the computer inoperative.

    Sure thing. The suggestion of bios update came from a tech friend. Here's the story. I recently added 3 pci adapters to my pc. First usb 2.0 for my external dvd-r. A week later the other two Firewire adapter (for the ext hdd) and a netgear wireless adapter. I have been on the netgear forums talking to folks about what and why, and testing by only using certain things in combination to the wireless adapter. I first noticed problems when I had everything on and running, the internet timed out then the comp crashed when restart or shut-down were selected. Inevitably I corrupted a windows file and had to re-format. So then with basic programs running and just after I renstalled the drivers for the wireless adapter, it crashed again. The same way as before. Then I knew something was up. I disconnected everything (except for the wireless adapter) and installed windows updates and missing drivers (like media controller). And it didnt happen again till the last thing I plugged in, which was the firewire ext hdd. Some of the things recommended from netgear forum were shutdown comp ports and try to open irq's. So the all I could do with that was disable com ports thru d.m. So far I havent had another problem, but I havent been leaving my dvd-rw on or the ext hdd either. I guess the reason for a bios update had something to do with a possible lack of power. I am running a 350 watt psu, and my friend says it is low to be running everything. What do you think?
