    Fresh windows 7 install. From what i can tell all drivers are installed. If i run alienfx tester i can change all light zones but says no board detected. Also command center doesn't work. Im assuming it's software but no luck. Even did a BIOS update. Any ideas?

    anyone have any ideas? ive tried just about all command center versions. i even uninstalled and reinstalled osd. everything stays the same. i can change color with fxtester. only thing i did notice was when i reinstalled osd and rebooted all zones were dark. then i installed command and still nothing again so i went to fxtester and turned everything on again.
