    Hi people - in the madness of searching through google like a loon for this motherboard driver, I came across you site :)

    Basically I have a friend who has a Advent 3217 Desktop (which is around 4 years old) She still had the recovery disk so I ran this doing a full restoration!! which it formatted and reinstalled the lot - well almost the lot!! It somehow has missed the drivers (ethernet and sm bus drivers mainly) so basically it didnt add the mobo drivers!

    No problem i thought ill find Advents site and download them... I wish it was that easy!!! I ended up being pointed towards the TECHGUYS! lolol from the dixons group. I explained the situation and they said they could help! By charging her £27 for an update disk :(

    So here I am hoping that one of you great people of this forum might be able to help me out...

    Many Thanks



    Steve

    Oh dear..the "Tech" Guys strike again....

    Welcome to the site Recoil, can you use one of the tools here: http://www.pchelpforum.com/your-pc-detailed-info/ and tell us the make and model number of your motherboard.

    EDIT: Nevermind..I'm looking for your drivers now :)

    The drivers should actually be on the recovery disc as it's only that disc that they will send you. Have a look at the file structure and see if there is a folder with drivers in it. It seems as tho they have it locked down..I can't find the drivers online.

    Yeah this is the problem - Tech Guys are just soooo stupid its unbelievable!!!

    They said the disk would work but clearly it doesnt - then they told me theres a update disk which fixes those couple of issues! - but as this PC has never been formatted since new, how would the owner know that they needed to get a recovery disk? - now its 4 years old the tech guys want £27 for the disk!!

    Talk about Cowboys!

    On another note - SP2 has helped a little bit - removed the SM bus driver issue and GFX drivers (which i expected) but still have no sound/onboard ethernet!! Drivers are incredibly hard to find aswell!

    Yeah I will give it a shot - it seems quite a few of that advent generation used this TriGem IT865GE (MS 6743) mobo so they must be somewhere on the net?

    Just a quick update!!!

    I managed to speak to someone who had made a recovery disk for this model and i found out what drivers were needed for the board - the reason why this TriGem board cant be found is because its branded as an msi Motherboard and only OEM so there never was any drivers issued for it - however Intel 82562EZ drivers worked on the ethernet and CMI 9761 (cmedia) drivers worked for the sound!!

    Now to go image this pc and make a proper recovery disk! :)
