Solved Coprocessor driver ASUS M3N78-EM

[cvele]

Hi, I just installed Windows 8. I installed display drivers, motherboard drivers, realtek drivers (sound), but in the device manager there's still coprocessor without drivers. I didn't update Win, maybe that's the problem?
Thanx in advance

Your mobo doesn't support Win 8. The missing driver is a Nvidia driver. I can't find a Win8 version. You can try downloading and installing the latest Win 7 (WHQL) chipset driver package (Beta 15.49) for your mobo here: M3N78-EM - Motherboards - ASUS

Already installed that driver... Thanx anyway. Maybe someone (nvidia or microsoft) will make some driver in the future

Good luck cvele. Sorry I didn't give you the answer you were hoping for.

Have you searched by the Hardware ID ?

How do I search by the hardware ID?

 

[anxsds]

Search here: PCI Vendor and Device Lists
Using this tutorial: Hardware Identification - Windows 7 Help Forums

Basically, you use device manager to find the hardware ID of the unknown device(s) and search the database to find what device that ID refers to. You then have a much better idea of what the hardware is than "Coprocessor."

HTH

It appears to be this:
Device ID Chip Description Vendor Id Vendor Name
0x0753 NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller 0x10DE NVIDIA Corporation
Thanx anxsds, I'll look into this further, and see what I can do

Hmm... I've installed the driver manually from device manager by looking for the driver in c:/NVIDIA/nForceWinVista64/15.49/English/SMU. Maybe it's was just the problem with installer, since it's for win vista/7.
I'll mark this as solved.

That's how I tend to do it as well - saves installing all of the potentially unnecessary stuff. I have the M3N78-VM and that driver is always missing in Windows 7 on a new install too. I've only had Windows 8 on that machine once, briefly (use the license on my laptop instead now) but I installed the Windows 7 driver and it seemed fine.

My coprocessor is now installed correctly in Windows 8.1.

Lovely... Three years later I used this thread to solve the same problem with win 10

Thank you very much the manual install fix is still useful in 2021 on windows 19.09
