Title: GA-MA770-UD3 Northbridge Driver Will Not Install
Post by: guitardude7 on October 06, 2009, 05:23:49 am

Hi everyone, I'm having a horrible problem with Vista x64; it will keep locking up randomly and I have to manually restart it to make it functional again. I've discovered that the northbridge driver will not install. When I install it using the most recent ATI driver installer from the motherboard's page, it will tell me it's successfully installed. However, when I restart the computer and run the installer again it tells me that the northbridge driver is not installed. Is there any way to get it to install correctly? I'm thinking this might be the source of the problem I am having b/c I've checked all of my hardware, installed the latest drivers, and installed the newest bios.

Hi there  :)

Is this on a fresh install of windows? Have you tried doing a fresh install of windows?

Yes, this is on a fresh install of windows. I have a fresh install of vista on another hard drive as well and the same thing happens. I'm sure someone else has run into this problem? Does anyone know how to get the northbridge driver installed correctly?

So it seems that the Northbridge driver is pretty important, right? I just need to figure out how to get it installed on Vista x64. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that if the ATI installer can't do it?
