For starters .... everything was running just fine...
But when looking at my device manager screen in windows 7 I noticed a "device needs troubleshooting" icon on my system.
So I checked it out and it said my coprocessor was missing driver.
(this is a brand new system I assembled myself)
I pulled out my motherboard disc and let windows install the driver from it for the coprocessor chipset.
Everything fine and dandy ... until I run STO
Now I'm getting bad stuttering all the time in game.
Dunno if the problem is STO specific as I don't have any other games installed (save for C&C 4, but that's a pile of EA 'you must be connected to our advertising server to play your single player game' trash).
Anyone know about coprocessor chipsets?
It was like night and day.
Perfectly smooth no issues, then I installed said missing driver, and now constant stuttering.
The MB is an ASUS M4N98TD EVO with an AMD quad core 3.1 installed and an ASUS ENGTX460 TOP graphics card.
Any suggestions?
I'm gonna browse around and look for any driver updates online in the mean time....
After digging around a while on the web I found an updated nForce chipset driver package and it seems to have corrected the issue.
For some reason ASUS's or Nvidea's I forget which websites auto-detect driver update kept trying to get me to install nforce 780 drivers when I have the 980a chipset, I'm wondering if windows also installed the 780 driver creating the problem in the first place.
It still doesn't seem as smooth as it was when the driver was missing, but it's much improved.
