Question:
AMD 690G driver for ASUS M2A-VM board?
2011-05-10 20:32:38 UTC
I have been using ASUS M2A-VM board based on ATI's 690G chipset for a while. Now I have various HD problems, high CPU load, aspect ratio problems with CoreAVC, etc. I tried to replace it with a 780G based board (probably Gigabyte or MSI) but the system even won't start up. Since a 100% fresh installation means a lot of work, can anyone help me get the AMD 690G working again.

download AMD 690G driver from a driver site or search AMD 690G driver in google. then you would find out AMD 690G driver which matches your require ( please notice that your OS).

The driver page:

The latest BIOS from April 2010 allows for a limited selection of AM3 CUPS to be used. I have one of these boards and am happily using an Athlon II X2 255. Please check the CPU list for the correct ones to choose.



As to the video loading, try 'PotPlayer', it is a Korean freeware replacement for the old KMPlayer. It natively supports many codecs and video formats and will install a 64bit version if possible. Another thing would be to stop using the IGP and get a cheap 4000 or 5000 series Radeon.



As for not starting, consider removing all external devices, such as web cams, external drives, even speakers, then letting it do a step by step reboot or a safe mode boot. (Last Known Good mode won't necessarily work if you got it to a desktop with the other board.) I find that disabling all the onboard devices such as comm and printer ports and onboard sound and lan can help here as well. Once you get to a desktop, then you can re-enable these things as needed (I always disable things I don't use).



If you need more detailed help feel free to mail me.



Good luck.

best bet is to Google those exact words. When it comes to specific drivers for a part or board, then Google can be your best friend. Just be sure to run the search on a computer that has an active antivirus, and firewall because there are a lot of sites out there that also key various words to draw someone in looking to download a driver, but give them a virus. do a little reading into before you just download. actually, first try ASUS's website, manufacturers often have a large database of all their drivers available for download.
