About this tag
The ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard is a legacy LGA775 platform that users continue to troubleshoot for Windows 7 and Vista installations. Common issues include locating compatible drivers for components like the Intel SM Bus controller and SATA/AHCI controllers, especially when the original ASUS driver disk does not support newer operating systems.
