I have an Intel H 67 Motherboard and I need to update the bios before I can use my new graphics card but no matter where I look I cannot find the appropriate download. Any answer would be helpful. Thanks, Jon

My computer is a Gateway model DX4860 with an Intel Ivy Bridge chipset and an H67 motherboard. My BIOS is AMI P03-A3.

Yes it is and in complete honesty when I checked this place for any updates the page was blank. Which BIOS update is the one that I should use?

But I am running Windows 7 so wouldn't that not work?

There wont be any problem. Just install it. Bios is moreover independent of Operating system :)

The new graphics card is still not working with the motherboard it's just freezing on the splash screen.

It is an upgrade from my AMD HD 7350 and It is a Gigabyte GTX 660 powered by NVidea.

I think you have to change your power supply. Minimum recommendation for that card is 430watts. I suggest you go for 500watts psu. Important: Make sure its 80+ certified either with bronze or silver or gold(eg. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Watt-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY) . Due to low power it can happen.

Do as follow to completely remove your amd gpu drivers:
First of all download Driver sweeper from here: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/driver_sweeper_down... and extract it.
Then follow the steps below:
1. Uninstall your graphics driver through the control panel->Program and Features.
2. (Important)Restart and boot into safe mode.
3. Run Driver Sweeper and remove all your amd graphics drivers.
4. Restart and boot to the regular desktop
5. Install the latest nvidia driver.
