Bought an old HD 5770, can't Install Drivers

[samueljerri]

I have an old Athlon x2 64 4600+ PC laying around, and I thought I'd give it to a friend that doesn't have a gaming PC.

Now, I know it's not new by any means, but he enjoys playing LoL and Garry's Mod so I thought this machine would be perfect (a free machine, can't complain haha).

Anyways, I went out and bought an ATi HD 5770. I came home and installed it into the case, powered it up and went to go download the latest AMD CCC driver.

I got the driver and installed it, but when I reboot my system, I'm greeted with a "No AMD graphics driver Installed" message.

What's up with that? The card was installed within a freshly formatted Windows 7 computer, so it shouldn't be a problem.


Specs:

Athlon x2 64 4600+
2GB DDR2 RAM
ATi HD 5770 1GB
Windows 7 x86

And yes, I downloaded the 32 bit driver.

Help!!!!

Yup, the card is found in Device Manager.

I'm reinstalling Windows 7 right now, gonna check to see if that was the problem.

No. There was no previous installation of a card. Heck, it used to be on Vista so I formatted and installed Windows 7.

I'm guessing the Omega drivers are the only one left supported by AMD?

Should I install the drivers from the included ATi CD?

Finished installing the drivers, and I restarted the PC.

When I get to the desktop, I'm greeted with: "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware."

The thing is, I installed the Omega drivers which was made for the series of cards :biggrin:
