Hi, I'm using NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a on my Windows 8.1, 64bit.
I am aware that there are two VGA ports at the back of my CPU, one is for On-Board Graphics Card and the other one is for my NVIDIA Graphics card. I have my NVIDIA driver installed.
The problem is when I plug the cable into my VGA port, it doesn't detect my graphics card. My screen resolution is 1440x900 but it shows a low resolution one like 1280x1024 and doesn't show me my screen's size in the resolution settings so it looks horrible. When I go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, it shows the error "NVIDIA Display Settings Are Not Available" so I can't do anything with it.
BUT, when I plug it into my On-Board Graphics Card, the screen resolution fits my monitor very well (1440x900), and shows me the NVIDIA Control Panel. But at the same time, I know of course that I can't use this for gaming, editing and other heavy stuff because the colors of images doesn't look good in the web and Photoshop (it has some kind of sepia-ic tone to it). They have the same ugly color when I plug it in the other port.
I don't know if it's a problem with my software or hardware. I've tried reformatting this multiple times, refreshing and repairing this PC using Windows 8.1 disc, uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of drivers for my card, disconnecting and reconnecting slots, cleaning my motherboard, experimenting carefully with my BIOS (PCIe settings only). Please help me, it's been months I'm so frustrated. Thank you so much!
