New Processor now PC won't detect graphics card and runs slower.

[Vorlo]

I installed a new processor i5 760 on my desktop. Problem is now my PC is actually running slower. For example it takes 10-15 secs after I right click on the desktop for the menu to show up.

Also now my PC can't detect my graphics card(GTX 660) which worked fine before. I checked with CPU-Z and Nvidia Control Panel. It's acting like the G-Card is not there which is weird because I'm currently using a monitor which is plugged into the card.

The reason I'm putting this under CPU instead of graphics and displays is because this problem only occurred after I install my new processor.

Please help.

You may need to update the BIOS on the motherboard.

You may need to update the BIOS on the motherboard.

How do I do that? I've heard that messing with the BIOS can brick my PC. I'm not very experienced in this as this is the first time I've modded/upgraded my PC.

What model is the board?

If you don't power off the PC while flashing, you're normally OK.

It's H55MXV made by Foxconn. And yeah the BIOS is really old(2010) and is probably the problem.

Download this file, extract it, then run the executable. Make sure all the files that were in the zip are in the same directory as the executable.

Don't turn it off or do anything until it says it's done.

It says that I need a different version. Like x86 or x64, my program files says x86.

Which is weird because before I know it was x64. Is this something that the processor has changed?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Not sure, sorry. I need to go to bed. I'll have a better look tomorrow.

 

[Vorlo]

Okay that's fine just get to it when you can.

What was the precise error message?

If you've got a 'Program Files' and a 'Program Files (x86)' then you're running an x86_64 (64-bit) system.

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x56 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
