I open up a different program called Cpu-id & my graphic card is showing it working & the clock setting is at 0mhz & Shader Clock 0mhz I need help setting it up & try to go into bios to find the setting of it but cant find it no where!! Also on my motherboard my usb keyboard keeps shutting off & on & I go to look on Amd Overdrive the Diagram & my PCIe is not showing also my other usb is not showing on the diagram!! Can someone help me out I would post pic but i dont see how to attach them or even try to show yall what problems im having!!
 
put you the way to go open the first link then press mes drivers there is a place says lancer la detection click onit it will ask you to install the plugin choose the one for win 7 64 then after do the detection that wil give you a page will all the driver on and the one missing will be another color
 
ya ok well i got it installed when i open it auto detect it it open up internet explore now its showing the whole information bout whats in it & stuff what do i do now see if there any drivers missing how can i tell if there any driver missing?
 
ight buddy Ya i went to auto detect it told me to download drivers for somethings that i was having trouble with if this works ill let you know whats sup I have alot of blue colors so quessing alot of drivers are missing!!
 
hey bud which graphic do I install its shows 2 different kinds?

Nvidia geforce 8m/9m/100m/200m/300m/400m/500m/quadro Fx/nvs M/ion verison
285.62 whql

or this one

Nvidia geforce 6/7/8/9/100/200/300/400/500/ion verison 285.62 whql??
 
ok so when i download the drivers do i restart my computer after words? What happens if i go back to that thing & auto detect the drivers & they are still not installed even when i already intsalled them?
 
Thanks Bud for the Help Props to you mann I just re did the computer over again Start over fresh everything installed right & I have one more question my memory is a ddr3 1600 its showing Memory 1600ll series 2048 mo pc3-8500f (533Mhz) is that the way its suppose to be?
 
oh ya so if i went to the bios & set the memory at 1600 it will automatic change the timing & everything the way its suppose to be set? I open up cpu-id & its shows that the timing 11 timing & i have 8-9-8-24 timing
 
amd do not use the xmp settings try to set the timings same as the spd but with the manual option first put them a 1333 boot computer look memory in cpu-z then if you want you could try the same at 1600 if the machine do not boot correctly go back to 1333
 
oh ya ok well i went to the bios & change the settings the only setting I change was the
cas latency cl 8 clocks
ras to cas delay 9 clocks
ras recharge 8 clocks
cycle time (tras) 24 clocks

What bout the rest of the set up do i only change that settings of my what my memory setting is? & bout the voltage do I change that to 1.65v like the memory or leave it normal in the bios?
 
ya the memory was set at 1600 on the first bios page then i went into dram config & change the timing to what it was suppose to be!! I have to ask you i try to overclock my cpu & i got it to 3.8ghz change the cpu voltage to 1.425v something like that idk if i did it right or not first time overclocking but um now now back at 3.2ghz its showing now core speed is 3221.6 & the bus speed suppose to be back at 200 now its 201.4 did I mess up my cpu?
 
no it just work on is specs , never made overclock my self but i seen on the web that some people use the multiplier check if you could find something on your cpu overclock on the web or someone on the forum could not help you with this one(could star a new treat with ovecloking in title with your cpu)
 
oh ya that whats sup & I might just have to do buddy & thanks for all your help man so far havent had another blue screen yet idk why that happend but I had alot of updates so maybe that was why?
