So something happened to my windows 8 and it couldnt be reloaded so i had my computer tech friend load windows 7 pro on it and now the graphics card isn't being recognized. It says under display adapters "standard VGA adapter". Video playback sucks and the screen is stretched and grainy. Please help I really have no idea where to start. Ive tried downloading drivers through catalyst control center but the video driver always fails. Thank you- Ed
