First, two different Windows 8.1 computers and two different monitors with the same problems. My main computer has dual monitors and both monitors on my main computer and the monitor on my aux computer have the same problem. The fact that this problem started on both computers at around the same...

I've checked one of my monitors and iterated through all the OSD settings and there is no setting for the monitor to blank itself or any power saving functions that would account for this behavior. I switched the monitors and changed them in the control panel to be in the correct relation to...

Eight months and no answers, still have this problem and it's really annoying. Anyone?

Also I should mention that on my one computer with due displayport monitors, when the monitors blank all the program windows on the secondary monitor are moved to the primary display when the monitors come back on. Anyone have any idea's here?

I've got two Windows 8.1 computers and on one I've had the same monitors for years and on the other, one monitor is 4 months old and the other 3-4 years old. I've noticed recently that I'll leave for 5-20 minutes and I'll come back and my monitors have blanked. Prior to a month or so ago this...

As far as I can tell from researching some of the hardware that didn't have drivers installed, it seems like it's mostly hardware that's usually associated with servers and this Asus motherboard is not a server class motherboard. So I found that Intel has a separate driver package for...

Ok, first I'm posting here because I'm using Windows 8.1 not Windows 10. I did what I said and swapped the old motherboard for this new x99 motherboard with a Broadwell E CPU and while it went better than I expected after running the 10.1.1.42 chipset drivers (which support the x99 chipset) and...

I don't have an example right now but I seem to remember that in Device Manager a slew of Intel devices had drivers that on the driver tab said "Driver Provider: Microsoft" and "Driver Date: x/xx/2006" or some ridiculously old date like that and that nothing I tried could get those drivers...

I'll give it a try but if I recall the last time when I tried this instead of genuine Intel drivers what I got is Microsoft signed drivers and sub-par performance and when I ran the Intel chipset 10.x installer it ran but did not replace or update the Microsoft drivers with Intel drivers. Which...

I'm getting ready to upgrade my main computer from an LGA 1066 motherboard to an LGA 2011-V3 motherboard / CPU / RAM and I know from past experience that the Intel version 10 chipset drivers setup program will not update existing drivers to version 10.x drivers. In the past 9.x and below you...

I recently installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my main computer, this computer has 2 onboard USB3 ports and a PCI-E USB3 adapter card with 4 more ports; I have two Dockmaster dual USB3 hard drive docks. Before when I had Windows 7 and there was a hard drive in each separate dock they showed up...

Itaregid: While Asus makes the motherboard, AMD makes the chipsets that Asus uses on their AMD compatible motherboards (a fact I'm sure you're aware of). Asus is rather famous for at most updating their drivers pages for a year or two hence why there are no Windows 8 chipset drivers. But AMD on...

Yes, 100% certain (since I'm the one who built it and installed the OS in the first place) it was Windows XP x64 since I have the old hard drive I can just reconnect it and boot it up, here's a picture: Like I said this was not an upgrade but I swapped in a brand new hard drive and did a clean...

I've done a new install of Windows 8.1 on a system that had been running Windows XP x64, I swapped out the hard drive for a brand new one and installed from scratch. This system uses an Asus M5A78L-M LX Plus motherboard which uses an AMD 760G (780L)/SB710 chipset. Since the drivers available on...

Windows 8.1 no administrator access Can someone help me out here? Any idea's why I can't properly install Classic Shell or why I'm being denied access to the Classic Shell program directory?
