Missing Coprocessor Windows 8!!!!

I have a Foxconn Destroyer nVidea nForce 780a SLI motherboard. I installed windows 8 and now I have a missing coprocessor. I went to nVidea website for the drivers for the chipset and the drivers are not compatible. Also talk to Foxconn tech support no help there and there website does not work because the links for driver downloads are broken, go figure right. What else can I do to fix this problem? I had the same problem with windows 7, Microsoft tech support fix the problem at the time, but unable to fix the problem with windows 8. I talk to Microsoft for at lest 5 hours on this issue hopefully someone here can help me out.

Hi,

Since there is no Windows 8 compatible nVidea chipset driver, I would suggest you to refer the article given below to install the Windows 7 compatible drivers in Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Download Windows 7 compatible drivers from the manufacturer’s website.

Refer to the article given below to install the drivers in Compatibility mode.

Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
