my newly built pc won't install the vga drivers

[shadybk]

I just finished building my new pc and I was able to download and install of the necessary drivers from my usb drive onto my new computer except for the vga driver.
here is my motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157636&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

here is where I downloaded all of the driver from
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Pro4S/index.us.asp?cat=Download&os=Win1064

all of those drivers installed except the vga. the error message I get when I try to run the setup is "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"

I was able to install my gpu drivers and I did connect the hdmi to the gpu but I want to have my vga updated to so in case my gpu fails I'll have the updated vga to use.

I went into device manager and it doesn't show an exclamation mark for anything, it shows that everything has drivers?

thanks in advance

removed your gpu from the computer, and plug the monitor into the motherboard, the on chip graphics gets disabled when you have a gpu installed.

All motherboards (just about) by default will disable any onboard graphics card when it detects a discrete GPU. That's why you can't install the drivers because, according to the operating system, you don't have onboard graphics. Your motherboard disabled them at boot.

Many BIOSes have an option to enable both the onboard and discrete GPUs at the same time, but don't bother. If you have to remove the GPU because it fails, the system will just automatically re-enable the onboard and Windows will boot. You'll get like 640x480 or something on the first boot, but Windows usually just installs the drivers automatically - reboots, and you're good to go. If that doesn't happen for some reason, install the drivers when you need them.

You don't want unnecessary drivers kicking around your system unless you have a very good reason.

If I want to do a dual monitor setup will I need the on board graphics? because How would I connect to monitors to the gpu if it only has one hdmi port?

use the other ports on the gpu; like DVI or Displayport, or even VGA

DVI to HDMI works perfectly as long as you're talking 1080p 60hz monitors (without sound). DP to DVI or HDMI work too if you don't have a native DP on the monitor. DP is often a little more expensive, but it's still $10-$20 for the adapter you need.
