Hi guys,

I am building a computer and it runs, but I am running into a problem with the graphics card. My computer specs are the following:

Intel core i3 4130
Asus B85M-E/CSM Motherboard
8 gb Ram
500 watt power supply
500gb harddrive
Amd R9 270X Graphics card
Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

The computer runs, but something isn't going right with the graphics card. When I start up the computer, I see it running, but when I tried to install the driver it didn't recognize that I had the card. When I tried using the auto detect graphics card it said "Can't find graphics card or OS"

I'm pretty sure my motherboard is compatible with the card so I don't know what the problem is. Do I need to change some kind of setting?

Thanks

"After running the driver download and it self extracts to C:\ATI, you could go to device manager->Display Adapters-> and right click the R9 adapter go to properties and update the driver by pointing to C:\ATI as this has fixed a few problems similar in the past."

is a solution to update the driver manually yourself in device manager to the extracted files on C:\ATI which will exist the moment you run the drivers (as it self extracts, so it's there unless you deleted it or never ran a driver installation). Within the C:\ATI folder you will find a folder for the actual driver .ini/.inf and can update a video card driver through device manager.

I tried reinserting the graphics card with no luck.

Darren the problem is that the graphics driver won't install? And it seems your solution is after it installs
