Hello there,

Well i have had this graphics card for around 4 months now. Working fine this graphics card is the ATI Radeon HD 6850. I unplugged and re plugged my monitor as i wanted to move it then i re plugged it, it was fine. However when i re plugged it back into its normal position my monitor was blank and it said No Signal, so i cleaned my ports and the ends of the wires but it still said no signal! I restarted my computer and put the cable into the video port on the motherboard instead of my graphics card and it worked but i think my computer is using my IGPU as i looked on other forums ti said to use something called Driver Sweeper. I installed this program here http://phyxion.net/ but now for some reason my computer thinks i am using my old graphics card ATI Radeon 4250 which now means i can't play any of my games! I mean my old graphics card is probably in some rubbish tip somewhere and i don't see how my computer can think i have it plugged in when it is my new graphics card that is plugged in! The graphics card is on as the fan is spinning even when i plug it out my computer thinks i am using my old graphics card so it must be my graphics card not being detected? I am really unsure and i have tried everything that i can think of anyway to try and fix this problem (been trying to get it fixed for around a week now( and can't seem to find a solution to this problem! Help would be appreciated thank you!

With pc with onboard ipgpu go into the bios set primary display to peg or pci. Under it turn off muilt monitor support. That force the gpu to be the main output. When the video switches download the newest mb chipsets drivers and then the newest amd driver.

It looks like it was already set too PCI-E which is strange right? As my computer thinks that i am using an old graphics card that isn't plugged in :/! I took out my GPU uninstalled the ATI Radeon 4250 from device manager then i went into bios settings and it was set to PCI-E i then re-inserted the GPU and now it has installed ATI Radeon 4250 again!
