Hi all,
I recently assembled this rig:
AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
8gig (4gx2) Ripjaw ram
Biostar TA890FXE mobo
Corsair TX 750watt PSU
Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
Using old hard drives
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Installing Windows 7 took about 3 hours. Now whenever I open a window, installer CD, anything at all - it takes forever. It's like this computer is 7 years old with 20 viruses on it. I installed the chipset drivers that came with my CPU, and also the drivers that came with my 5870. I am getting an error that reads: No ATI graphics driver installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware.
EDIT: I also switched the vid card to another PCI slot, the same thing is happening.
Any thoughts? Where to begin troubleshooting?
Please help!
