Failed to create a graphics context i7 7700k igpu help.

Loyde Kessroy · Aug 19, 2017

I created a new build with an i7 7700k and Asus maximus hero ix. The blizzard launcher won't load and gives me the graphics context error. This is all after I installed drivers from Asus that were supposed to be for everything. My right click for resolution on the home screen shows that my igpu is working though. I have to use this igpu before I get my gpu and I don't have a clue on what i'm doing wrong. Please help.

Try getting the newest HD Driver directly from Intel.

WildCard999 :

Should i use exe or zip file?

Loyde Kessroy :

I would use the exe.

WildCard999 :

Once it finished extracting, I got a error pop up saying that the update didn't support the processor type.

I am using windows 7 pro as well because I already owned it.

Loyde Kessroy :

I don't think that driver is supported on Windows 7, that is probably why the file can't be extracted. When you had this working before were you using a different OS?

I haven't had the igpu working yet. I havn't used any other os either.

WildCard999 · Aug 19, 2017

Oops, miss read your OP. Well the reason it isn't working is because your using Windows 7.

Loyde Kessroy · Aug 19, 2017

started downloading 15.45 version that supports 7. Hope it works.

Loyde Kessroy · Aug 19, 2017

Well it didn't work sadly. After downloading I got a message saying this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. I am at a loss.

WildCard999 · Aug 19, 2017

It's because of your OS, unfortunately you need Windows 10 to get the driver.

Loyde Kessroy · Aug 19, 2017

are you certain? Yhe webpage says it supports win 10,8.1, and 7.

Thankyou for the help. I found a beta version from Asus and if that doesn't work I'll upgrade to windows 10 eventually.
