please tell me how can i get a cd .and also wat will happen if format my pc without the cd.

Thank You.

Since you dont have Motherboard CD and if you format your System, the main problem you will face is to reinstall the drivers of the system....
If you have Windows 7 then there would be no problem in reinstalling the drivers since it detects most of the system drivers by itself....

But if you are re-installing the system using Win XP then make sure to get Network drivers of your system in other CD... so that after re-installation of OS you can install network drivers of your system through which you can connect to internet and install rest of the motherboard drivers..

SO PlS NOTE THAT B4 FORMATTING UR SYSTEM U HV NETWORK DRIVERS SUITED TO UR MOTHERBOARD AS A BACKUP..

hope above info might help u in formatting the system,

Hey!!!
Just go to start menu and got Run and write there DXDIAG there will be all information regarding just give that motherboard information to me i will google the information about the Drivers for the motherboard that you have given to me and will give the link here itself to download
So do it asap because the drivers downloading suckxxxx

@above,

The error message you are receiving is of Direct X try to install it from internet or try to install the same using below link:

http://www.directx10.net/

and chk whether your problem get resolve

But No1 told How to actually format the PC..lulz.. !

yea they are correct in mentioning that u shuld make a backup of all the files necessary.. !

there are2 ways by which u can install new windows... one... u can directly put a windows installation CD and Install the thng on a Partition... !

Second... U will completely format ur PC via DOS... And then install the Windows wid the help of the installation CD..> There are specific Commands for formatting the PC... And to be frank i dont remember them .. !

I Go the link for downloading the drivers frist I am downlaoding whether they contains driver or not or they have trojan in it so wait some timee

Ok
here is the link you can download the drivers of your motherboard here

See below on the page there is download and write the code and get the download starting




I am also uploading here on forums you can download from here also but you have to wait sometime for that

@ FUnky i hve dowloaded it before but still unable to start a3mania

@ Silvermoon i m downloading w8 a sec

@Obli...

Topic creator has a problem of not having motherboard cd so its basic b4 we say him how to format to teach him how to take backup...

Coz nowadays formatting of system is Easy... just put Win Xp Service Pack 2 installation CD and whossh ur system will get format..

The DOS prompt you are saying is not in use anymore.. And if you have installation CD you can read it and insall it by your own Just U have to press 'F8' and then need to choose Drive where u wanna install OS rest you can see and do it yourself.... as it will ask you CD key and time to set nohing else...

@silvermoon still its cming a same error hlp me

Say me whn i cm online in game i will be cming at 7.00 pm

Remove the isntalled direct X drivers... I think u have installed the version which is not been supported by motherboard... Install the degraded version of Direct X i.e. 9.c or smthg like tht.

And could you please let me knw since when you are facing this issue?? as u said tht u hv formatted the system and b4 tht too u were getting this kind of error... so did u upgraded ur harware? or did any changes like installing new hardware or smthg like tht???

If possible pls attach SS of the error... thanks

@ silvermoon

Plz ssend me the link for directx 9.c

nd before formatting pc i used to play from home only nd it was running smothly but after formatting i dint got my original driver cd jst bcoz of this i think i unable to start mania at home

Its Directx 9.0c.... Google it..


Chetan.. i dunnoe whether the DOS thng is out of use but i used to do it ..it was kool.. i like DOS..heh ..> !

And now windows 7 doesnt need all dat !

Hey Virus...

If you havent received drivers for your motherboard then you can download or update it from below Asus site:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx

hope you get your motherboard drivers, I have taken Socket775 (CPU) and model of your motherboard to search the same... and as max said you can google for 9.0c directx drivers...

Max, Yes, even i love to do formating using DOS mode it was easy... and was like we are doing smthg now we just hv to press enter
