So I have a new Acer v3 e111 netbook. Everything was running fine and the graphics card was recognized (my WPI was 4.8). I upgraded to an SSD and 8GB of memory, and now my WPI has dropped to 1.0 and the graphics card isn't showing in device manager. All it sees is the VGA. I've downloaded drivers from Acer and from Intel, and when I went to install the Intel drivers it said "insufficient hardware detected." Any ideas on how to fix this?

I would recommend you to bring it back to stock config, and maybe format it, and send it to the warranty to fix the problem. Then re-install all your stuff and you're good to go. That's what I would do if I was at your place.

As I mentioned, I attempted to install the drivers and was told I didn't have the appropriate hardware. It seems as though my computer can't detect the card at all.

Soooo..... as you said it's new, so you should get a warranty with that ?

Theoretically I have a warranty, but I may have violated it when I swapped out the memory and hard drives, so I wanted to see if this was something I could handle myself before calling.
