Please install VGA (cards of asus) installation error

[Strategist12]

I know there are a lot of these threads out there and I looked at all of them I could find but still have this problem. I have very limited computer knowledge as I am a console peasant and so I won't understand much tech-talk so go easy on me. I have tried all of the solutions that I could find and like I previously stated I still am getting this error message when attempting to install the drivers on my 7770. Also, after installing my 7770 my resolution changed and when I attempted to change it back my previous resolution wasn't an option. If you need any more details I will gladly give them to you. Remember, this is my first post so take it easy.

Any help is appreciated.

You have a jumper on the board where you move a cap from 2 pins to 2 other pins as shown in the manual, or you just remove the little watch battery called CMOS. That clears the BIOS back to factory settings.

 

[Strategist12]

Ok then, I'll try

 

[Dee Kay]

It sounds more complicated and scary than it truly is. Once you do it you will see how easy it really is.

 

[Strategist12]

Which method do I use?

 

[Dee Kay]

What revision is your board? You can use either method to reset the CMOS if the update sticks.

How do I find what revision my board is? Is it Award Modular BIOS... is that it?

 

[Dee Kay]

It is listed on your board next to the name but it should also show in the BIOS screen.

Is it that Award Modular BIOS thing?

 

[Dee Kay]

There are different BIOS updates depending upon what board revision you have. Look at the top of the screen to the gigabyte link I gave you because that is where you choose which update your board needs.

 

[Dee Kay]

Award is the maker. You should see gigabyte 1.0 3.5, 6.0 etc.

 

[Strategist12]

Where would I find what revision I have? It says Award Modular BIOS next to my motherboard's name.

Award is the BIOS maker. At the end of your board do you see a number like 4.1 or 6.0? That is what we are looking for

Oh ok. 6 is my revision so which one should I use?

 

[Dee Kay]

Go to the link and click on the 6.0 near the top. Click on the F2 d/l link and get it

Ok so I downloaded F2 now what?

 

[Dee Kay]

Yes. Then follow the directions at the other link from gigabyte

 

[Dee Kay]

If you have the bios update utility in windows you can do it that way. It will either have an icon on your desktop or it will be in your gigabyte folder in windows

 

[Strategist12]

I don't know if my board has Q-flash do you?

 

[Dee Kay]
