I just bought a AMD Radeon R5 220 1Gb graphics card and i am having problems installing it. The Drivers are installing fine but when i go to install amd catalyst after its done it tells me to restart and then nothing happens.
I have all the files on my computer though, I have a Asus M3n72-d motherboard with on board Nvidia nForce 750a SLi

In the bios i can either set it as auto or always enable, its on auto. When i go to device manager all i can find under display adapter is Standard VGA Graphics adapter and its got a yellow circle with an exclamation mark in it

maybe they are not compatible with eachother? if i cant get it working today ill take it back and try another graphics card

Just make sure that the monitor cable is connected to your new GPU.

I think your GPU is not compatible with your motherboard. Check this:

But they said their data is not 100% accurate.
