I was having difficulty with an extremely low framerate on a new MMO (Age of Conan). One of the suggested fixes on the AoC forums was to download the updated nVidia drivers for my 7200 video card, then download a program called driver sweeper, run driver sweeper with a checkbox *ONLY* in the nVidia video drivers box, and then reboot in safemode and run driver sweeper again, with the nvidia video drivers box checked, then reboot in to normal mode and install the newest nvidia drivers...
So my video card is working fine after this, but suddenly my windows xp sp1 does not recognize the NTFS formatted maxtor sata HDD... it sees a hard drive, but indicates it is not formatted. Out of curiosity I clicked the 'format now' option and it says there is only about 170 Gigs of space on the drive, which is a 300 gig drive.
In addition to this my NIC card (integrated in to the motherboard) is also no longer recognized...it doesnt show up in Device Manager at all...
My MB is an NFORCE4M-A.
I am unsure how to fix these problems. Please help!! :)
