I purchased a low-cost barebones PC from "Cybertron" and outfitted it with all of the components necessary to make it work. I was able to set it up correctly using the driver CD that was included with the kit, which was comprised of a case, motherboard, processor, and integrated sound, video, network, and more. All of the drivers loaded from the CD and everything has worked perfectly until Windows Update posted an update for my video drivers called "SiS Mirage Graphics". Ever since I downloaded this update, I have had trouble with the display being off-center, or the computer's failure to turn the monitor off or needing to reboot in order to get the monitor to come back on. I have tried to uninstall the device from Device Manager, and have also tried reinstalling specific drivers and using driver rollback. However, the new drivers are still in the system somewhere, because Windows automatically loads these drivers upon reboot (the screen flickers while the computer does this). I am trying to find the best
drivers from the Internet, but I am not completely sure what hardware I have installed, as the included documentation is very poor. It was advertised as a "Cybertron" barebones PC, and has an AMD Duron processor. The manual does not state a company name, but does say that it is a "M863 series" mainboard, and I have seen the names "SiS" and "PC Chips" that are somehow related in my search. I found some driver files that work for all of the other onboard hardware components, but while the video drivers from the same site are recognized by Windows as the correct drivers, they still do not work and again cause the above problems. I can avoid problems by disabling the display adapter and using the generic drivers, but this causes poor performance and prevents me from setting my monitor to turn off. However, when the new drivers are installed and active the devices connected to my USB ports do not work (Device Manager reports the USB controller as being installed twice). Please help me remove the many incorrect
drivers that have been loaded and determine the best driver from the Internet for my hardware.

According to the info on this SIS webpage (http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?MenuID=16&LanID=2&DetailID=366&DetailName=Specification), this motherboard uses "Embedded Real256E 3D Graphics with 64M share memory". That's not adequate info to determine what video driver is required. And the "driver" link on the page is worthless... no results when it's clicked.
According to the M863G Manual (http://64.124.27.138/pcchips/manual/M863Gv71C.pdf), the cd shipped with the mb includes all drivers for onboard hardware for Windows 98SE up thru Windows XP. You should not need additional or updated drivers even tho a SIS Compatible VGA display driver is available here (http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWeb/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?CategoryID=1&Typeid=4&detailid=265&DetailName=Driver&DetailDesc=M863G(V1.5A)&MenuID=35&LanID=2).

Use Device Manager and get reports on which drivers are being used currently or with the troublesome drivers. Note the paths to these drivers and delete them manually using a right click and left click on delete. Normally drivers are removed automatically when the device is removed.

Bueno Tambien e tenido el prioblema con esta placa y alfin logre solucionar.

cierto es que en la pag oficial de pcchips solo existe el driver de sonido para windows 98/me/NT, mas no sirve diske el driver para WindowsXP.

Despues de Mucho Intentar k esta placa Me Diera el Sonido ;Instalando Varios Drivers De la Serie AC97 y Revisar el Chipset e Incluso la Flashear Para Ver Si al Actualizar la BIOS se Solucionaba el Problema del Driver

Bueno Aqui La Solucion:

Primero Bajas el Driver de la Pag Oficial:

http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=366&DetailName=Driver&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=3&LanID=0

Al Instarlo Dara Siempre el El Maldito ERROR de k no se pudo instalñar el Driver y Sale con Un Signo de Admiracion.

Luego Bajas este Otro Driver y lo Instalas :

http://www.4shared.com/file/68589949/abae1642/WDM_A406.html

Con Esto Ya Debe de Funcionar Correctamente el Sonido

Bueno es Todo Me Despido y Ojalas Sirva esta Solucion para Todos a los k haya Caido esta placa a sus manos, y Una Llamada de Atencion a los Fabricantes de PCCHIPS Por NO Hacer Un Driver Para WindowsXP Para Esta Motherboard.
