Trouble Loading ASUS drivers and software???

[cumminspuller]

Got my first PC put together last night. Powered up and everything works great. Loaded XP, loaded good. My problem is with the ASUS driver/software CD that came with the mobo. I can not load the AMD Cool N' Quiet Driver. I get and error saying:

Setup Has experienced and Error
Please do the following:
-Close any runing programs
-Empty your temporary folder
-Check you internet connection (Internet-based Setup)

Then try to run setup again.

Error Code: -5001

So I closed all AV software and anything else running, emptied my temp internet folder and tried it again and same error.



When I try and load the ASUS PC Probe v2.22.10 I get an error saying:

Can not load AsmiEnum.dll

But I can continue past that and once it has finished and I try to run the program I get an error saying:

C:\Program Files\ASUS\Probe\ASUSPROBE.exe is not a valid Win32 application.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Jason

Is CnQ enabled in the BIOS? Also, try this:

1) get the latest version of the driver from Asus's download site

2) if it insists on not installing, plunk it into the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder and now try running it from there.

Thank you for your help. I was able to grab the latest files from the website as you suggested. I guess I can not expect perfection for my first time build. But I am curious what CnQ in the BIOS is?

Short for "Cool 'n Quiet," sorry about that. 😱 You have the option to enable or disable the capability in the motherboard's BIOS.

Thank you. Got it now. Not savvy on this computer yet, but is this a good feature to enable or is it a luxury?

I dunno, my work system has the capability too, but I just leave it run at full 2000MHz anyway. It's not exactly "Hot 'n Noisy" even at 2000MHz, so what the heck 😀 I use an aftermarket heatsink, Alpha PAL8150, with a reasonably-quiet fan on it, but I heard good things about the retail AMD A64 heatsink/fan too, and it sounds like it performs just as well as mine does, from what other owners of the same mobo reported for CPU temps.
