    OK,

    I bet the answers to my questions are on here somewhere but looked and couldn't find them.

    Problem 1. I was trying to install the Omega drivers for the Z70v refreshed and gave up because when it rebooted the computer froze so I went to the catalyst drivers (after uninstalling all the drivers for it) and when I try to install I get an INF error saying it cant find the driver.

    Problem 2. I didn't get the Intel wireless card I have an Atheros 5006 card. Anyone know how to get the lits on the front and buttons to work with it.


    Thanks

    Buttons and Lights won't work with the Atheros card, unless you make a Linux program with it and mess around with the registry - or something...

    I'm using the Omega drivers and they work fine....when does the computer freeze?

    I've never gotten any Omega drivers to work on my Z70va. I downloaded the 5.8 and 5.9 ATI Catalyst drivers from DriverHeaven.net and they've worked perfectly. My 3DMark05 scores jumped to 2670 at stock speed and 3024 when overclocked to 410/365 with the 5.9 Catalyst. I strongly recommend you try the drivers at DriverHeaven. Good luck!

    Actually figured it out by looking some more. You can install Omega drivers just dont install it with the ATI Tools.
