(important info in the last paragraph)
Hi! I recently got a used ATI Radeon HD 7350 1gb to replace my old Nvidia graphic card. Unfortunately, Windows 7 wouldn't detect it and only showed "Standard VGA card", which I assume is the one integrated in the motherboard. I tried to find a solution and read online that setting the ATI as default could solve it, so I tried it.
Now the situation is even worse. I changed the default display from "Auto" to IGP (didn't work), PEG (didn't work), PCI (didn't work) and back to "Auto", and the computer just restarts when the "windows is starting" message and the rotating logo appear on screen.
I tried the old graphic card and get the same problem. Also tried a different hard disk with both Windows 7 and Windows XP, and even though Windows 7 won't start, windows XP does (though it doesn't detect the ATI either). Also, the boot repair tool says it can't fix the problem but at least points out a reason: "baddriver".
Bottom line: I'm assuming the integrated card's default drivers for windows 7 got corrupt or something like that, but I have no idea how to replace them/fix them. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
