im not too good at computers but i just got a new graphics card for my pc, its a sapphire 6790, today i saw there were new drivers available and when i downloaded it and installed it windows shutdown and then when it started back up everything, icons etc were all large, this is the download i did which a guy on bf3 advised me to do which may not of been the smartest option but anyways

Installed OS (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit)
Installed Chipset drivers.
Ran Windows Update
Installed Graphics Card drivers - newest from website
Reboot - CRASH - have to boot in Safe Mode & restore to earlier version as system will no longer start properly.
Why? What did I do wrong?
Until attempting to install the proper drivers, it would appear the system is using a default VGA adapter, and not seeing as PCI-e? Are there special drivers to install for the PCI-e boards?
So I've decided that I want to use a Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB for my Win 7 OS C-drive and my WD 500GB drive as my E-drive for files.
The problem is that I thought of this after installing it on the 500GB drive.
Will it be okay to reinstall on the new drive if I delete Win 7 on the old one?
If so, is it pretty simple to reformat a drive with an OS on it?
I bought a copy of Windows 7, one pc worth and I installed it to my 32g SSD by accident. I have a 500g HDD just sitting there wishing it had Windows 7 on it and I am curious how I can resolve this situation. I bought the SSD to put my game on it and run it much faster

View 8 Replies View Relatedtried to follow manual guide for installing agp drivers for my sapphire 4650 agp card,
after changing the CL_91526.inf, and udating via device manager, it tells me the
'standard driver' is the best one to use???
I'm currently using xp home edition and I just bought the SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4650 1G AGP. The current version of my driver is 8.620.0.0. I found out that there was new updates for the driver. When I tried to make them a bug came in my system. I tried manually to locate the files for the update but still didn't work.
Anybody could pls have any clue about that?
I have a Sapphire Radeon HD3850 AGP card in my system but windows will not install the driver from the latest release of the ATI Catalyst driver install. Instead it defaults to the Standard VGA
From what i have read on these forums i may need to change some information the CH87739.inf file for the driver.
I see a memeber called torrentg had posted a modified .inf file but the download limit has been reached. Is there any chance of posting again? Or perhaps positing its contents into the replay.
my computer has been dead for the last few days so to speak. For two days ago I turned on my computer - it started up just like any other day. I saw the Desktop and bang, blue screen of death. This has not happened since I installed Windows on my new SSD Harddisk (I'm running with two disks, one SSD for Windows and a HDD for everything else), so I simply started my computer again. (My computer worked just fine last weekend, no problems at all. I had a Windows Update and then this happened..).During the set-up it stopped after the Motherboard-image - I had to chose between starting Windows Normal or repair it. Starting Windows normally does not help - it just give me BSOD right before or right after hitting the desktop. (Sometimes even before the Welcome-screen). So choosing to repair Windows during the setup is the only thing I can do.
By doing so, Windows searches for errors. I get the following error codes: 0x0 0x490 ..and some with 6 f's.(Today and yesterday I only got 0x0, which apparently stands for 'unknown').Hitting F8 during setup and loading Windows in safe-mode (/secure mode?) does not help either, I get BSOD here as well.I have tried to change the boot location (different disks and from CD). As a standard, its booting from my harddisk - all though it's booting from the wrong disk (the HDD). When I'm choosing the SSD I can't get any further and I get the message: "Missing Bootmgr..". The only way to boot the computer correctly (and maybe fix the missing boot manager) is by booting from a Windows 7 CD. I get the same two options (Normal / Repair) when booting from the CD though.. When I chose repair it seems to be fixing something - but in the end it says it couldn't find any errors. I have also tried to enter the following commands into the CMD: Bootrec /fixmbr Bootrec /fixboot Bootrec /rebuildbcd.The first two are completed with no errors or messages. The last one is unable to find any Windows installations (this happen when using both C and D).
I am able to use a safety backup copy which I took when I all out of sudden got access to the computer.. (Don't ask my why or how!), that is however not solving the problem, it's only allowing me to load the computer once. When it's loading it's checking the disk first and then loading normally -- I just tried that for a few minutes ago and my screen just turned black.
this is what I did, since I have no CD-ROM, to install Windows 7 I created a partion X: NTFS and set it as the ACTIVE ONE, the put there the Windows 7 installation files, and opened prompt command to type bootsect.exe /n60 X: , next I restarted my computer, and automatically it booted into the Windows 7 setup, I installed Windows 7 on the partition C: and formatted the partition C:, everything installed and after the installation finished, a multiple choice menu appears that reads:[CODE]

I got it all installed and the activation key wouldn't work.Long story short I got the upgrade version on accident. So I got that refunded and I'm about to just go buy Home Premium.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery now and then my WiFi stops working, and if I go to dev mgr, the General tab tells me that "No drivers are installed for this device" for device status. On the other tabs, however, I have all the details on the installed driver, and if I ask Windows to update the driver, it tells me that the best driver is already installed. The problem is solved by rebooting, but I find that annoying. I'd like to figure out WHY it does that. I've saved earlier versions of that particular driver from over the last three years, and the problem occurs with all of the drivers. This is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system. The driver is an Intel driver; the one installed at this moment (it just happened again, and I have not rebooted, since I had a powerline enet outlet handy), and the version of the Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN is 14.3.1. I have other versions of that driver saved, from 13.2.1.5 to 15.1.1_Ds64. I had reverted to the 14.3.1 because the more recent versions seemed to be worse about the driver disabling itself or whatever it is doing.Coincidentally with this, the event viewer shows that mmc.exe was terminated because it was hanging. I had just run sfc yesterday, and there are no corrupt files that Windows cannot fix, and there weren't even any corrupt files that it DID fix.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWorking with a MSI r5770 and an NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GSO. The unrelated drivers are (NVIDIA Geforce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i)I changed my video card and when I booted the machine to install the drivers, Windows automatically started doing just that. Problem is they are the wrong drivers. I tried downloading and installing the correct ones, but only two things happen:
1. If I uninstall the incorrect drivers through Device Manager and then try to run the .exe that would automatically install the drivers, the installation completes but nothing apparent happens. I "Scan for hardware changes" or just reboot as per instruction, and the wrong/unrelated drivers are just installed again.
2. If I try to update the driver through device manager by manually selecting a directory which contains the driver, it will tell me that the faulty unrelated driver is the best and most up-to-date driver.
For the record, the sequence of events:
1. Replace MSI R5770 with old NVIDIA GeForce 9600GSO after noticeable performance drop in former.
2. Windows 7 automatically updates with wrong drivers(NVIDIA Geforce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i) for the card. Can not get any signal from card.
3. Switch back MSI R5770, it automatically installs the exact same driver(NVIDIA Geforce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i)
My story is simple, I bought a Sapphire HD 3850 512mb DDR3 !AGP! and i want 9.6 catalyst drivers installed NOW!
Well, I had to manually install the drivers first. So make sure your drivers are already extracted to your c: or w/e.
www.otleague.net/stuff/9.6_32_bit_hotfix.zip
This link will take you to my Problem Step Recorded (psr.exe) movie of how I got my drivers from the 9.6 Catalyst.
After I restarted I than installed the CCC from the C:atiSupport9-6_agp-hotfix_vista32_dd_cccSetup.exe. (hotfixs are for AGP cards only) You can use the setup know beacuse it doesn't need to install your drivers And boom I hope it works for you, like it has for me.
It took me close to a week of trail and error to get this answer.
Did anybody know when will be released sapphire's ATi drivers for windows 7.
Because official ATi-AMD drivers for windows 7 don't work on my graphic card witch is HD3650 AGP also drivers for vista don't work it installs only CCC but not the display drivers.
i have a sapphire HD 5770 a little over a yr now and recently it started giving problems and now it does not wrk most of the time. what happens is that when the computer is turned on the card starts up (the lights on the back of the card light up green and soon after they start to flicker and turn off and the fan spins really fast and loud as if there is no six pin power connector in the card. i gave it to a friend to check it for me and it wrked in his system for about 4 days str8 the started to chip off.

(Or again, could be chipset but I'd try this first.)Download the normal Catalyst 9.9 32 bit for Windows 7 and extract it to C:ATI.Here is the .inf you should use.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI purchased my new computer on Christmas 2008 due to the sales they had that day. When I first got it, it work perfectly fine without even downloading the drivers. I'm a developer for a game and I use various software needed for graphics editing. I play a 10 year old game (Sony's Infantry) almost everyday on average for 1 to 3 hours a day and my system temps are pretty normal. Around 40-50C temps when playing. I use compressed air every 2 weeks and my case is nice and tidy so there's no dust bunnies or anything of that sort.The problem arose during the month of August 2009. There were no artifacts or blue screens or anything like that. The computer would just suddenly turn off on its own and when I tried to power it on, it did not display a picture. I saw the CPU fans spinning, the HDDs were running, all the cables are connected properly, the video card (sapphire 4850) fan was on and there's 1 beep code.
I asked my friend to borrow his old 8600GT and my computer worked normally. He suggests that my PSU may not be supplying enough juice to the GPU. I thought it might have been the mobo. But my friend is more knowledable than I am. I ended up buying a new PSU. The PSU ended up not solving the problem. Then I buy the same exact card that gave me the problem and a new motherboard and installed the drivers.. that didnt do it either. With basically a brand new computer minus the RAM, I end up with the same results.

Intel Q6600
Sapphire ATI 4850 HD

I recently looked into this cards performance and even used furmark to benchmark test it. THIS program made the card reach 91c before I stopped it.I recently got MSI Afterburner to test it out even more accurately and it gave me readings of 79c only after maybe 4-5 minutes of play on Metro 2033 with High settings.It just worries me that it may be overheating at times.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHad a frustrating afternoon trying to get my triple-monitor setup going again; I had WinXP for years with two video cards: a single, simple VGA / PCI card, and a recent Radeon HD 4670 card with two outputs. Under XP everything was recognized without incident, first repeating all three monitors and then able to extend windows to this monitor under Display Preferences.
Now under Windows 7 RC, I did a fresh install with both cards inserted, and only the single VGA card would drive its monitor. The HD 4670 drivers are listed in the Device Manager, I removed and installed the ATI 9.9 version software several times, and the single VGA output is the only thing I get. I even tried the 'F8', selected the unsigned drivers, and still it didn't bring the Radeon to life.
I pulled the single VGA card out, and bam the two monitors off the Radeon come alive. I install the CCC and it works just fine. And then I shutdown, add the VGA card back, and get the single VGA output again.
Well I do not really know where to start. I've bought myself a new computer and I'm trying to set it up and completing updating stuff.
And Everything goes smooth until the installation of my new Sapphire Radeon Hd 5870 Graphic card.
I'm not any expert in this field and could really need some help, directions or what to look after to make it work.
I'm able to install all except the actual driver. The drivers I'm trying to install is latest from Ati's homepage.
The error message i get is following:
"Driver install: user must be a member of the administrators group"
Error During installation of newest Drivers
I've tried right clicking and Run as Administrator but nothing changed and I still got the same "result" or problem after that.
I've checked in my Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> Users
And there I've checked that my User is a member of Administrators.
I've tried starting up a game (Aion to be correct) and got this error:
Error Message Starting up Aion
I've tried to install new drivers by selecting the location off the driver but then windows gave me a message that said following:
"Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date"
Picture shows Advanced settings in Screen Resolution
Picture off Advanced Screen Res. Settings
On my Motherboard, Asus Rampage II Extreme, It said that if you were running a single GPU card it should stand at the top Pci-e slot, so it's mounted after the manual.
I don't know if that makes me unable to try the 2nd or 3rd Pci-e slot to test the actual slot or not?
My m'board is Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 with Athlon X2 2.6 GHz and 3GB DDR. Windows 7 x64 detected the card but had an yellow symbol with the status code 43. Aero could not be enabled because of that. A poster torrentg seems to have sorted out this particular issue for a lot of people. I tried all his suggestions but the code 43 exists.
