GPU not detected

[Shwerfy]

Hey, I recently built my own computer, upon the first installation of windows everything was fine. The Drivers installed fine, and the GPU was detected. When I re-installed my OS I tried to download the video card drivers, from the internet because the disk doesn't work, again like normal, however it gave me an error when it was finished. The GPU doesn't show up in Speccy or GPU-Z. Windows have massive lag, like it freezes when I drag it.
Specs:

Operating System: Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3
CPU:AMD FX-4130

RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 803MHz (11-11-11-28)

Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M5A78L-M LX3 (AM3R2)

Graphics: Standard Monitor (1360x768@1Hz) ( It should say that I have a Radeon HD 7790 installed)

Storage: 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 (SATA
931GB TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 USB Device (USB (SATA))

Optical Drives: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7201S6

Audio: USB Audio Device

Also, I know the 32bit only supports 4gb ram, but I couldn't get any other windows installation to work, that's why It's xp.

any help would be appreciated.

It looks like a driver issue. Try updating the graphics driver in Device manager.
Did you use the drivers from AMD http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ?
What happens when installing Win 7?

there's nothing about video in the device manager.
yeah, from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%20XP%20-%20Professional/Home&RenderOnServer=true to be exact.
when it reaches expanding files, it gets stuck at 0% or 7%

Thanks for the reply

Installing from USB or DVD, SATA set to AHCI or IDE in BIOS?
Have you tried installing with single RAM module inserted?

I was installing from a DVD. Not sure should I change it to the opposite and try again?
I haven't tried a single RAM modual.
I guess i'll try that, but it's really annoying, because in order to use this computer I need to reinstall XP because the windows 7 installer corrupts my previous OS.

Can't you perform a fresh Windows installation (not upgrading from XP)?

never really saw an option while installing windows 7 for it to format the drive or anything like that.

When asked where to install Windows, click Drive options:

And it will expand, giving the format option.

Thanks for the help.
basically what I did was Re-download the ISO from Microsoft, re-burn it at x4, format the drive, and it worked fine.
everything is working
