Hey guys, I upgraded an older machine to Windows 7 from Windows XP when I heard they were going to discontinue XP finally, and everything went fine, except for one thing: my new OS now won't recognise my GPU (Nvidia 9800GT). It's especially bizarre because my monitor is plugged into the GPU, not the motherboard, and it's working fine. Well, fine aside from the fact that I can only choose from 4 resolutions in the control panel, none of which are my monitor's native resolution.
So far, I have tried installing every single Windows update available, physically uninstalling and reinstalling the GPU, and installing the GPU to another machine (it works fine still), all to no avail, nothing has changed at all. I should also mention that attempting to install Nvidia drivers or the GeForce Experience program both result in a failure with the error message stating that I do not have an Nvidia product installed.
One other thing to note, I also have a PCI-to-PCI controller conflict, which I believe is related. It seems to be sharing a physical address with the motherboard VGA adapter. I know enough to recognise that there's something wrong here, but not enough to know what to do about it!
I appreciate any help! This one really has me stumped.
