I have the following specs..
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
APU: AMD A10-5800k With Radeon HD Graphics
500GB WD Hard Drive
I'm trying to install an NVIDIA GeForce 210
When I physically put the GPU in the fan spins and everything. I put the disk in and go to update drivers and it says no compatible hardware found. I even went on the website of NVIDIA where you can customize what driver you need and put everything in correctly even up to the fact that I'm running Windows 7 (32)bit (Not sure if that isn't compatible with the 210 or anything either) and had the same effect.
I have never set up the Radeon graphics configuration on the APU and don't know how or if it makes a difference. I also notice that the APU does have Radeon graphics, and I am not sure if that makes any difference ( Maybe GeForce and Radeon hate one another? ) Please help I'm so tired of building this computer.. this was the last step to be able to play my games and it isn't working. Side note... after leaving the Graphics Card in for about 4 minutes I went to take it out and it burned my hand it was so hot. I have another GPU of the same model for my other PC fresh in the box I could try.. maybe DOA? Or is my motherboard just a piece of junk...
