I recently ran into an issue where my computer won't detect my gpu correctly. The gpu is an AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB, but under device manager it is showing up as a "NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a". Nothing displays through either the DVI or HDMI port. Now the computer runs and boots fine, and I'm currently displaying through the VGA port on my motherboard (an ASUS M4n68t-m v2). I originally thought that it was simply that the gpu had died, but I noticed that the fan for the gpu is still running (which for all I know could still mean a dead gpu, it just seemed odd to me) or at least tells me it is powered.
I have a much older PC I could try the gpu in, though I'm worried about doing that since I don't think the power supply could handle it.
So now what I'm wondering is if there is anything I can do, or if my gpu is indeed dead.
Just a quick recap on specs:
Motherboard: ASUS M4n68t-m v2
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB
CPU: AMD Phenom ii x6 1055t
OS: Windows 7 home 64bit
I believe I've covered everything, but if I am missing vital info please let me know.
