A while ago my PC broke.
The cause of it was hard drive failure.
I got a new hard drive now and a fresh install of windows.
But there is a problem, I lost all the drivers on my old hard drive.
The old hard drive had 2 parts.
One that has all the data of stuff I do and the other one has drivers for when I reset my PC.
The problem with the new hard drive is is that I can't get all the right drivers.
For example, I can't play ANY games and I can't connect my HD TV to my PC (I'm using a HDMI cable)
The cause of this is probably the video card drive and thats where the problem lies.
Windows can't detect my video card and now I have this standard VGA adapters.
I tried alot of different drivers but now I gave up.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks for reading!

I'm not exactly sure what video card I have but I think it's from ATI/AMD
It was pre-installed on the computer.
The computer I have is a Medion Akoya P5259 D
It's running on windows 7

Oh and with the old hard drive and drivers I could choose the resolutions 1920x1080 and 1600x900 which were great and now I can't :(

i look online and found your pc has an intel cpu.
you need to install the intel chipset driver first.

then reboot. after you reboot the mb chipset should work fine.
this program read your pc hardware.
