Need chipset drivers AmethystM (MSI-7184) Motherboard, for Vista 64 bit OS

[shfire2000]

I'm looking for proper chipset drivers, or compatible drivers, for the MSI-7184 motherboard. The chipset is ATI RS482 & ATI SB400. I'm specifically looking for the following drivers:

PCI express filter driver - Currently using Catalyst 8.3 ATI PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver

AMD Address Map configuration - Currently using microsoft standard driver

AMD  DRAM and hypertransport(tm) Trace Mode Configuration - Currently using microsoft standard driver

AMD HyperTransport(tm) Configuration - Currently using microsoft standard driver

AMD Miscellaneous Configuration - Currently using microsoft standard driver

ATI I/O Communications Processor LPC Controller -  Currently using microsoft standard driver

ATI I/O Communications Processor PCI Bus Controller - Currently using microsoft standard driver

ATI I/O Communications Processor USB 1.1 OHCI controller - Currently using microsoft standard driver

ATI I/O Communications Processor USB 1.1 OHCI controller - Currently using microsoft standard driver

ATI I/O Communications Processor USB 2.0 EHCI controller - Currently using microsoft standard driver

Standard ATA IDE Controller - Currently using microsoft standard driver - this is supposed to be SATA I think my HD is connected to it and its SATA

Standard ATA IDE Controller - Currently using microsoft standard driver

PCI standard CPU bridge - Currently using microsoft standard driver - is this supposed to be ISA instaed of CPU?

PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge - Currently using microsoft standard driver

I'm looking for drivers because my CPU usage is constantly at 45-60% usage. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+. Thease drivers and devices are what Vista recognised and loaded. I dont believe it is correct. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

PC model number?

HP Media Center m7470n

With:

Visiontek Radion HD4670

Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty

Bios changes:

Firewire - disabled

Graphics - PCI-E

pci mouse - disabled

I/O paralell port - disabled

onboard sound - disabled

The high CPU usage is due to hardware interupts

Load the original chipset drivers and then go to ATI's website and download the updated version.

Yes I've tried that, those drivers are for XP only, and will not load automatically or manually onto VIsta 64bit. They are not 64bit certified.  I've even tred everest to find the components but it, cpu-z and others like it cant identify the motherboard.

I found ATI Catalyst 8.3 drivers on Driver Detective this morning. They support the SB400. Although my CPu usage is still very high. I even did a clean install of Vista before I loaded thease on. I'm starting to believe that this board is not compatible with Vista 64. After this weekend I'm going to do a complete recovery back to original factory OS, XP MCE,  and settings to see if the CPU problem still occurs. Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate the help.

Ok I found the proper drivers!

 ATI drivers:

North bridge drivers: Catalyst 8-12_vista32-64_sb_72277 

SMBus, & IDE drivers: Catalyst  8-12_vista32-64_72274 - run the program so it extracts all the files to c:/ATI then get out of it. Then manually install the both IDE controllers and the SMBus drivers using Device Manager.

Also I solved the problem with hardware interupts. The onboard USB controller and Legacy suport interfere with the video card. To fix this go into the BIOS and under advanced, disable Legacy support. Then in Device Manager disable all three usb controllers. As soon as those controllers were disabled the interrupts dissapeared. I'm going to get a PCI usb card So I can still have USB ports.
