    I just recently got my custom PC working, I installed Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium OEM. After installing the OS, I tried to install my motherboard drivers and it said something like can't install on this OS, I was wonder if any could help me find the driver that I need to download for a ASUS M4N78 Pro motherboard.

    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    Greetings, Seether21...

    What specific problems are you having? Reason I ask: many core drivers are installed by Windows, so you may not necessarily need new software if all functions are green...

    Have not been having any motherboard, I downloaded ASUS Updated and updated my BIOS, but wasn't sure if that had anything to do with the driver. I have been having problems problems with with my Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT Graphic Card it keeps failing and recoving, also I have a Sata 750GB hard drive that has my OS, and a IDE 500GB hard set for Slave, the BIOS directs the IDE hard drive, and but when I log on the PC the 2nd hard drive does not show up. Could thi have any think to do with my motherboard driver?

    M4N78 Pro Win7 64.

    Critically you need the nVidia Win7 64 Drivers:

    I had a 4850 (it was showing signs of slight visual deterioration for the last 6 months with small pixels during intense gaming). I bought a 24" HD monitor and it just couldn't cope.

    Win 7 at high settings is very demanding on the older Video Cards and if you game as well it can cause "Display Driver" crashes.

    Get all of the latest Win 7 Drivers (mobo chipset, video, audio, etc) if the problem still persists you may have to consider "lowering the visual settings" of the OS or upgrading the Video Card.

    I just bought a 5850 to cope.

    Okay sorry about hat I thought the selections would persist.

    1st drop down: Motherboard
    2nd drop down: Socket AM2/AM2+/AM3
    3rd drop down: M4N78 Pro

    Hit search and then a pop up for OS will appear.
