Hey,
Today I installed a new Gigabyte z97 motherboard, with a new i5 processor. I moved over my old memory, and my old HD 6870 graphics card. It all works, and I can currently see my new desktop (with a fresh Windows 7 install) through the DVI port of my 6870.
The only problem is, Windows thinks my graphics card is a 'Standard VGA Adapter' and AMD's driver software won't install or detect my card - the autodetect says I don't have any AMD hardware in my machine, and Catalyst won't install.
I have seated and reseated the card, disabled onboard graphics, checked the BIOS, uninstalled all existing drivers, reinstalled, tried the DVD that came with the card, tried newly downloaded Catalysts. I am so tired. Can anyone help.
