I just downloaded this and I am having trouble finding my mother board, I have a giga-byte GA-K8U. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have a temp display on my case which is reading 27 degrees but I assume that is ambient temp, I would be interested in what the CPU temp is. May be dumb questions but I have no idea.

INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTOL.EXE] (793KB) 7.2.1.1003 7/11/2005 Download This utility installs INF files that inform the operating system how to properly configure the chipset for specific functionality such as USB and AGP. Quote:
The other thing, as simple as it sounds, is to make sure the video card is nice and snug in it's slot, that can also cause these sorts of issues.

This may not help you, but whenever I have a problem just that won't go away I format my system. If this doesn't solve your problems then you have a hardware issue. Unfortunately you have to spend a bit of time backing up all the important stuff which is a pain, but running a freshly formatted machine is wonderful. I format once every 3 - 4 months. Before you begin the format make sure you have a Windows CD and CD key!

And that your current volume license hasn't been locked yet...
My XFX GF7800 GTX gets pretty hot but at the back end of the heatsink (so the fan is doing it's job) damn does every game look eleventybillion times better ![]()

Oh one thing i'd suggest... A friend of mine had the same motherboard as mine, I had a Duron 800 in it (and it is still functional), and he was running an Athlon 1400. The Athlon was listed as supported - but it was only supported with an updated BIOS. He had no end of troubles.
I'd be checking the motherboard BIOS is on the latest - and not just a 'supported' level. After this - do you have other expansion cards in the system? Try removing these as well and run the tests again. Does your motherboard have onboard video? Try removing your video card and running on that only (yes it will be slow - but if it works for an hour or more it proves a point right?). It could be some of the ram on the video card could be dodgy (possible) it could be the GPU is overheating. It could be driver, bios, firmware, adware, etc.. whatever.

But yes, that's another thought, is it possible to try it with a different video card (preferably another nVidia card to avoid too much mucking around with drivers), to rule out any hardware faults with the vid card? Ang that's another possability, the vid card might be overheating. FASTXR, does your 6600GT video card have a fan on it? It should also have hardware monitoring, so it's possible to find out if it is overheating, but first we'll find out if replacing the motherboard chipset drivers help, if not then we have a few other things to try. The other thing that comes to mind is the BIOS options, there might be something not quite right in there, but that could be a bit of a longshot.
