I recently had to send in an RMA request to EVGA because something happened to my GTX 670, so now I'm stuck with my CPU's integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000), but I can't change my resolution to anything higher than 1280x1024.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium x64, I'm hooked up to a Samsung 32" LCD HDTV with a native 1920x1080 resolution via a DVI to HDMI cable.
The display looks all squished and horrible, please help. :(

Did you install the correct video drivers for your onboard graphics?

I tried to install the drivers I found on Intel's website, but I get an error that says "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

What the heck? I have a core i7 2600K... I call shenanigans.

I looked through that and I can't find anything that helps me with my current problem.

I know my screen's native resolution is 1920x1080, but I can't set my resolution to that in the CP and I don't know why.

Go uninstall your Geforce Dirvers. I think that's the reason why that the Intel HD graphics drivers is not allowing you to install, because it thinks that there is already a dedicated graphics card. Just go try it, you are not going to lose anything.

Sorry then. I don't think I have a solution to fix your problem. I am sure that other people is here to help you. Hope your GTX 670 will come soon!

I am not sure if there's such an option on BIOS, maybe add more memory to the intel HD graphics? I am pretty much running out of ideas.

Maybe you want to contact Intel about this problem. You mentioned that you changed the primary graphics adapter in the BIOS to onboard graphics, are you save you saved it?

How long do you have to wait for your RMA? For now, just somehow do anything you want besides no intensive graphics stuff. lol

Well I talked to a friend of mine and he tells me that this whole ordeal is definitely a driver issue, but every time I try to uninstall my old VGA drivers to make room for the new ones, windows automatically reinstalls the drivers I'm trying to get rid of upon restarting.

How do I keep it from automatically installing those drivers so I can manually install the ones I want?

Important note: I already have windows update set to ask me before installing any updates or drivers. Every time I restart, I get a little popup in the lower right hand corner that tells me it's installing device drivers. There must be some way to keep it from doing that.

That's very strange. First time I ever heard of this. I think you can hide certain updates from windows update. Just right-click on the update you don't want to update, then click hide. I am not sure if that helps either.
