Ok i was updating my Display drivers for the upcoming rush of games when I got an error mid installation followed by a bluescreen. After that Catalyst wouldn't function at all so I tried to repair then went to uninstall then reinstall. However windows automatic update happened just before I could reinstall and now my pc for the life of it will not recognize my Radeon HD 6800? I cannot install the drivers from the AMD website and Windows doesn't even know it's there. It works on other pc's and the worst part is that this card just get out of warranty. How can I get the computer to recognize that it's there?

I found out that I needed to try 3 other ports in my Motherboard. My computer detected it after trying the 3rd port which then led to Catalyst to be able to install the drivers needed.

So you had to move it to a different pci-e connector on the motherboard?

Yeah I had to switch the pci-e connectors. However after the original "slot" still works? I even ended up moving the Graphics card back after switching it to the second pci-e connector. I don't know what went wrong or specifically how i fixed it. I'm just trying to give what i did out so people who have this problem can maybe solve it.
