Hey guys its my first time upgrading my custom pc and I ran into a huge speed bump. I'm a noob so I don't know much but thanks to forums and google I'm willing to give it a go.
My system specs are: mobo - gigabyte ga-ma790fxt-ud5p
Processor -Amd phenom II x3 720
Memory- 6140 mb
Page file- 2353 mb used, 10162 mb available
Windows vista sp2 updated at least every 2 weeks.
Old gpu was ati radeon 4870 diamond.
Now i bought a 270x sapphire. Before removing old gpu i went to device manager and uninstalled driver since i read that i must do it first. I also read that i should go into bios and disable integrated graphics however o thought i shouldnt mess with bios since im just switching cards. Upon restarting the pc i ran cd with installation to no avail. Error installation of package failure from catalyst control installer. Tried again and no errorhowever the pc not using 270x driver. After a few uninstalls and re installs i tried messing with bios but nothing there to disable integrated graphics just to switch which gpu to use first in case of multiple gpus. Device manager shows as display device as standard vga adapter with yellow cuation. Dxdiag showing no gpu under display tab. Help please. Before buying i looked into making sure everything was compatible and i didnt find no conflicts. Psu is a cosair 550 watts
Edit: just read another post where another member ran into the same problem. His solution was that he installed another catalyst driver or software and it worked. My problem is i tried that as well. I visited sapphire for drivers and amd. Amd not showing drivers for vista when before i bought the card was said to be vista compatible. Im going to keep looking. Any links to drivers and such will be appreciated.
