I have a new G31-M7-TE version 6.7 Biostar MB. When I try to install XP it always errors out at some point where it is initializing the drivers so it never install XP. I have an erlier version of this board I had no problems installing xp in this same PC. I put that MB in wifes PC and installed the newer version on my PC. I even made a sidestream xp copy with sp3 but that made no difference. I guess need to return MB to Tiger Direct. Any Ideas

Hello try to install the chipset driver from here:

Select download and open the driver folder, and download the chipset driver.

When downloaded run the exe program, and reboot after the install is done.

Good luck

Hi, you can download the driver here:

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/driver.php?S_ID=363

Its not for windows 7 but it will probably run on your system.

X86 is for 32 bit and X64 is for 64 bit system.

Try the xp or vista driver.

Hope this will help you.

slow USB (thrumb drive, reads or writes slow or both)?????
the bios all USB ports enabled firest
the USB drivers from BIOSTAR loaded forget that ??? I bet yes;
front USB2 ports and rear USB ports fail?????? or just one.
the intel ICH7 chip runs up to 10x, USB2 ports so is not a problem.
why not get working driver from BIOS STAR
XP is a virus magnet never seen one not infected now or for 10 years, XP driver seen on the web are all infected
the ones at BIOStar are good. (and microsoft.com direct)

The G31-M7 TE MB has a intergrated sound chip.
Enter the bios. Open Chipset. Open South Bridge configuration. Find Audio controller. This should be set to [Azalia] Save and exit the bios.
Next check JAUDIOF1: found on page 14. If you are not going to use the cases front audio and mic than there should be a two pin jumper covering pins
5 & 6 and pins 9 & 10. If you're case supports front audio / mic ports, (You can not use the front audio ports and the rear audio ports at the same). time). Once everything above is set, got to Biostar and download the audio driver software;

try getting a cd rom audio cable plug it in the back of the cd player and plug the other end into the motherboard

The operating systems usually load some of the drivers for the motherboard to get it up and running initially, once the os is installed you can just update the drivers on the internet.
