Hi akashdeep, and thank's for your post, but for what i know, the nvidia's drivers of this motherboard doesn't suport windows 7, can tha be a future problem? for example for games? not tha i am a heavy gamer no, just once or another time i play, in rest just for chat or music.

Which nVidia card you have on it?

There isn't any issue except Midi port and Game port. These 2 ports won't be supported by Win7 on this mobo.

Thanks for the link Akashdeep, but what about the motherboard's chipset? is also an nvidia

- And also like to thank you "Heironious" for you link, didn't try yet, but is always good to have an other way to check for sure, my apologizes for my delay.

Your issue is on Win 7 use on your board. Which I answered clearly. You have nothing to worry about the chipsets. :)
