Okay the following are screenshots I took when trying to do just that but I have run into a problem as when I start the installation i get this message that simply says it is only for an ASUS motherboard. Well I have an ASRock 970 Extreme 970. the following are the screenshots showing what I have run into. As you can tell I am just a little confused by all these set up files. Which one do I use to do what I need to do? Oh yes this is the Vista64. Should I have used the Vista32 instead? Please help me with this problem. There is another one I need to install also and I will need assistance with that to! Thank you for your assistance! Awards

I think you'll find them here (if you have one of the three listed Extreme versions: 3, 3 revision 2 or 4) http://www.asrock.com/support/download.asp?Keyword=970+Extreme&Type=&Socket= As far as I know ASRock doesn't use NVidia chipsets on this series. hxtr 1 Awards

Please find the link in my first post. ATI chipset or not isn't your problem right now. The motherboard has neither an ATI nor a nvidia chipset. Regarding the BIOS update: From my point if view there is no need to update the BIOS. Most BIOS updates are not critical. They only provide new or updated features for hardware management. If you don't have a problem, don't update it. "Never touch a running system" You shoul only do this if you get in trouble with your new CPU. BUDMAN and Labob 2 Awards
