My problem is very similar to http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1803869/fails-identify-graphics-adapter-stuck-vga-solved.html but without the solution part.
My PC =
FX-6300
HD 7750 XFX 1Gb GDDR5
4 Gb RAM
Windows 7 Professional OS 64 bit

Ok i need serious help here, i used a software from AMD to sweep my drivers (amdcleanuputility) because i noticed that, even when i downloaded and installed new drivers to update previous ones, the update never happened, it kept saying it was outdated.
So after running the software and rebooting my PC i re-installed my MB drivers and checked that they were installed well (after rebooting, again) and then i tried to install the GPU driver from the disc inside of it's box, after the installation process i noticed the PC didn't ask for a reboot, thought that was weird so i ran GPU-Z before and after rebooting ( i rebooted by myself, my pc didn't ask for it) to find out it said "Standart VGA Adapter" after this i tried everything, i found out i have MS Network v4.5 installed (verified by downloading again), tried updating to the latest AMD driver (13.12), sweeped my drivers with other program in safe mode and reinstalled old and new drivers, separately and one after the other multiple times with no results, i tried to solve problems of MS Network with another software, with no possitive results, i even turned off my pc, got my GPU out of it, then in again, and booted with no results....again. Literally all i have left is to reinstall windows

EXTRA INFO
My screen is, at the moment, connected to the GPU VGA port, i know the GPU is at least working (fan is working and the image is stable and sharp...for 1024x768) i also used amddriverdownloader and that is the ONLY software that actually tells me i have an HD 7750 and that i need the 13.14 drivers, which i have tried to install at least 5 times today (i double checked and the drivers are for win7 64 bit system)
I will take this PC to a tech to see if he can help me, but i also beg (yes, beg) for your help, please :c
PS= excuse any typos or grammar mistakes, i don't know english that good, it's not the language i use every day c:

THE SOLUTION
So, after a good night's sleep i woke up and turned on my PC, reinstalled drivers and rebooted for the same result, 1024 x 768 res with standart VGA adapter, after that i right clicked the screen and watched the resolution part then i clicked the advanced configuration thing to also find out that it said standart VGA adapter, but then i checked the properties of the device, went to the drivers tab and then the details of the driver to find out that my PC wasn't searching the drivers in the proper folder, i changed the folder to the amd catalyst and BAM the card changed to HD 7700 series and the pc told me it needed a reboot...after all the solution was quite simple (note that i NEVER EVER changed the route where the drivers were installed, i always used express config) thanks for the support given! \^^/

Forgot a bit of info, my MB is a 760GM-P21, so yes have an integrated GPU which actually SHOULD be disabled because my GPU was working on it's own before all the mess i caused, and amddriverdownloader actually detects my HD 7750, also GPU-Z detects it's GDDR5 and the architecture also matches, but the specs are MUCH lower, and yes my screen is directly connected to the GPU... i will check now the BIOS and follow your steps

Another thing, there are always reports of something going wrong with the installations (warnings) but when i check all the stuff says success (just like the guy i sent in the link) i also reinstalled the ms NET Framework completely and removed the drivers...i will now try once again

OK so final report for today...everything is the same, the scan didn't find anything unusual and my PC thinks he is working fine because no error has shown up, the ONLY error i've gotten is that i NEED Framework 4.5 to view the catalyst (which i uninstalled and then installed v4.0 because i thought it wasn't working propperly) tomorrow i will download v 4.5 and test the steps once more, if this doesn't work i go to the tech, sorry for not providing the optimal quantity of information but i've been trying to solve this silly problem for the past 6 hours and im kind of tired, thanks for the support you gave me (for real, thanks) but i will continue tomorrow with this.
If ANYONE else has any kind of idea of what might be happening please share it here...bye for now
