driver v6.39 and bios version v1.00, you will need to re-install

your OS using at least nVidia nForce driver v6.66 and bios

v2.00.

Do use the latest driver version available, it will help you use

the facilities of your hardware easier and better. An old version

can create hardware conflicts and errors in function. Try to stay

updated with your drivers monthly or sometimes weekly. Chose wisely

the specific drivers: motherboards driver, bios, graphic cards

drivers, modem drivers and so on. Chose the right driver for your

hardware and try to make backups of your system every time you want

to make a change.
