Need Video Driver for Asus Essentio

[katz]

Maybe one of my fellow techs can assist...?

Fighting an ASUS Essentio CM5570. Win 7 Home Prem/ x64. Video is all garbled when windows loads, but displays fine in safe mode. Client said they got a warning message about a corrupt driver. I have cleaned the system, attempted to install every video driver on Asus site, but none will install. I continue to get "non-compatible" OS message when trying to install driver.

Threw SDI at it, updated a lot of things but video still displays as garbled mess when booting to Windows normal mode. Safe mode is fine.

Dev. manager lists as:
Intel G45/G43 Express chipset. Hardware i.d. - is
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2E22&SUBSYS_83361043&REV_03

Any ideas?

Does it have a separate video card or just the internal graphics?
Have you checked the BIOS to see if it's booting from PCI or "Infernal" graphics first?
After booting, (in Safe Mode if that's the only option) go to the Device Manager, uninstall and delete the video driver. DO NOT REBOOT!
Scan for hardware changes and let it look online for a driver. If it cant find one online use SDI again.

Internal graphics. I looked through the BIOS earlier, I think it was set to "auto" detect... I'll do as you instructed & report back, probably tomorrow...it's late here & I'm getting tired of this cantankerous thing, lol.

I did delete the old drivers, reboot, reinstall, etc. Still had garbled issues in Windows, but not safe mode. All was well in safe mode. New graphics card solved it. Done deal, out the door.

Sorry, I'm a little confused

lol...sorry for the confusion.

It has onboard graphics. I deleted the drivers, let reboot, it picked up & installed the drivers just fine. However, when booted to the desktop for a few minutes, the screen went all garbled again.

On a whim, I put a spare graphics card in that I had lying around, installed drivers, booted and it ran fine all day.

Oh, it's an overheating problem. You should have said!

I'm not sure about overheating. It will run fine all day in safe mode. Would it behave normally in safe if it overheated? I guess maybe, I don't know for sure.... At any rate, it is out of my hair now!
