10. ERRORS: Why doesn’t this card work well with motherboards that use the VIA MVP3 chipset? - Top

This problem is a result of the VIA chipset implementation on many motherboards (not all). It seems to stem from using an AGP video card and a PCI sound card (and is not limited to just those using Aureal Vortex products). There are numerous core driver updates available on the VIA web site which should be downloaded and installed. You might also want to check with your motherboard manufacturer to see if they have released any updated drivers or BIOS for your particular motherboard that may address these issues.
