I recently built a computer with the new Haswell cpus, and I've come across a problem with the integrated graphics. I have a mini-itx board the ASRock B85M-ITX and I'm using the vga adapter on the i/o panel. I'm runninh windows 7 on an laptop hard drive that wasn't being used and when I go to the device manager under display adapters, Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 has a yellow ! triangle next to it and when I click on it I get this message:

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

I found another device that had the same problem, the HD Audio and disabled it. After that, it still didn't work, so I rebooted into the BIOS and disabled it there, and the problem still isn't solved. I'm pretty sure the BIOS is upfdated to its latest version because it's a fairly new motherboard that only came out this year.

Oh. Well, that's almost certainly the problem then. There are going to be many conflicts if you've changed all hardware and not reinstalled Windows. Here's a quick guide to getting the CD key if you've lost access to it:

Hmm... not sure I can help you with that. Although with some searching it might not be hard to get an .iso file of Win7 x64.
