More Information

Just put together my first build ever. Got it all set up and it booted. I installed Vista all was fine. Installed the ATI drivers for my Sapphire 4850 then restarted. Computer boots back up and I change the display to 1280X960 or whatever. I restart and the computer tosses up a blue screen and reboots. "Attempt to reset display driver failed". I havnt even installed the mobo drivers or anything so I can't go look for a new set of drivers. Should I reformat already and do everything over and install the mobo drivers first.

Heres how it goes.
Computer boots --> Get a scroll down of PCI Listing ---> Goes to Progress bar with Microsoft underneath --> Goes to blue screen and reboots

CPU INTEL|C2D E8500 3.16G 775 45N R
MB GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R P45 RT
VGA SAPPHIRE 100242L HD4850 512M RT
HD 500G|ST 7K 32M SATA2 ST3500320AS
PSU CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W RT
DVD BURN SAMSUNG|SH-S203N SATA LS %
HD 500G|ST 7K 32M SATA2 ST3500320AS
MS WIN VISTA HM PREM SP1 64BIT 1PK%
In a Antec 900 with a CPU COOLER XIGMATEK

Any help would be appreciated

Update your bios, it fixes issues with the new P45 motherboards and new video cards (8xxx/9xxx and 38/48xx series cards)

 

What you are experiencing is pretty common with the old BIOS

I've been searching around seems like a lot of people have had problems with this. I've looked but where do I get the new bios. I'm going to go into safe mode and update via a flash drive, hopefully this works.

When you bootup, you have the option to goto BIOS, or the quickflash (or whatever its called). Put the BIOS (from the gigabyte website) onto a flashdrive and boot into the flash utility (its a program built into the motherboard) and select the BIOS file. Then hit update.

Any chance any one would know why the lan ports are not working on my GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P45 that has dual Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) network adapters.
