But I want to do this only after I make sure it is realy the hardware causing problems not the BIOS. I could just buy a socket 939 ATX motherboard and an ATX case and use existing parts which will be a cheaper alternative. As this is a micro BTX mother board only gateway keeps a replacement but it is too expensive. Now I had already updated with the latest available BIOS from gateway as Foxcon does not support it. When I did contact EVGA they told me that I might have to reflash my BIOS as older BIOS dont have support for 8000 series car. I also tried to add new hardware but that did not help either. I'd rather not monkey with the bios if I don't have to. It is the question of whether or not I have to update/flash my bios before switching the CPU out. I can see and hear the fan running when I boot up the system but when I go to device manager it does not even acknowledge the card being there. I do know that the AMD Phenom II x4 980 CPU will work in my motherboard. The 8600 gts card is not even recognized by the system. After that I just went to BIOS and loaded failsafe defaults and then viola it ran for 2 days without a problem but after that it crashed and is not recognized by the system.Ģ.
FOXCONN ALOE BIOS UPDATE AMD K10 DRIVERS
After this happened I was advised to update AMD processor driver and AMD dual core optimizer and also get NVIDIA beta drivers but they did not help. The 7300 gt card was recognized by the system but again started freezing the screen. Also I disabled the onboard n6100 series graphic adapter in the safe mode after uninstalling all nvidia display adapter for it and using a driver sweeper for making sure I removed those.ġ.
FOXCONN ALOE BIOS UPDATE AMD K10 INSTALL
Before I put the new cards I did a clean install of XP and also updated the BIOS. I RMA'ed the card thinking that there was some fault in the card and got a replacement for 7300 gt.

Then one day it eventually stopped recognizing the card. My 7300 gt card used to run fine in my gateway PC (AMD X2 4200+, Foxconn C51GU01 motherboard,500 W power supply with 2 12V rails at 18Amp and 16 Amp, 1 PCIE x16 slot, XP Media Center 32 bit) but after I over clocked it using n tune last month it ran fine for a couple of days and then it caused the screen to flicker (horizontal lines) and eventually freeze/hang the system at various time intervals after I booted into the system. I have two video cards 7300 gt and an 8600 gts.
