Very strange.. If i go to 'look up' i get this GIGABYTE HD 7970 WindForce 3X OC | techPowerUp GPU Database
But it calls it a standard vga.

Here from CPU-Z
Try reinstalling the drivers again, I guess. Download them from Download Drivers . That's the US version, I suspect they will detect your Country and show the appropriate version for you. I think the drivers are the same, but I can't swear to it.
That's really all I know to try. Other than going to BIOS and making sure your card is detected correctly.
I've tried mutiple times to install the drivers, tried both drivers (14.12, 15.4) from the AMD site.
In BIOS set 'Init Display First' to PCI and disabled internal graphics.
Looked for graphics card info, but i couldn't find anything. Also resaeted my graphics card just to be sure.
What could i possibly try? reset motherboard or something?
Does your Motherboard list a PCIe Graphics card? What I am afraid of is when you tried to install the drivers and is said it couldn't find compatible hardware, that usually means it can't find your graphics card. If it were me I would set optimized defaults and see if that fixed it, or completely clear CMOS. In BIOS, look to see what mode your sata controller is in right now (IDE,AHCI or Raid) after you reset CMOS or set optimized defaults, Make sure your sata controller is set to what it is right now or you will not boot, probably. Set your ram to Manufacturer's Specs, Frequenct, Timings and Dram Voltage. Set your boot options, save and exit.
If you completely clear CMOS, you will have to set the date and time and everything else. Just like it was the first time you posted when it was brand new. That is usually not the case with Optimized Defaults.
If that fails to work, see if you have another graphics card or can borrow a known working one from a friend. Download the drivers for the new card, uninstall the drivers you currently have, shut down, and switch cards. On boot up install the new drivers. Let me know how it is going for you and ask any questions you don't understand or anything you want to know. I will answer the ones I know the answer to.
My BIOS doesn't show any information whatsoever if there is a card in a PCI slot or not. I must say that i have never updated BIOS, maybe newer version will show more?
So i've completely cleared CMOS and loaded optimized defaults. Only difference is that i'm now seeing my integrated graphics card Intel HD Graphics 4600 in device manager.
What i did noticed is when i'm using my graphics card i see the Intel HD graphics 4600 and a standard VGA graphics adapter.
But when i switch to my motherboards HDMI port and unplug my graphics card (I have to unplug because the intergrated graphics card is dissabled, so that works) i only see the Intel HD graphics 4600.
So my system thinks that my graphics card is somehow the standard VGA?
Tommorow i'm gonna try a graphics card from a colleague of mine, i'll let you know how that turns out.
Robinsk8, I am not familiar with your Motherboard, however I have never owned a modern retail board that does not have a section that shows that. It is usually in Advanced under one of the listings and a sub directory.
In device manager, if you have 2 entries of the Intel 4600 and another one for Standard VGA, it means that your Intel graphics is recognized and has the drivers installed. The other entry would mean that no drivers are installed for your graphics card. If you don't mind, would you post a screenshot of Device Manager with the Display Adaptors expanded.
Also, looking at your CPUz screenshots again, it looks like your timings are wrong. I don't think that has anything to do with your Graphics drivers, but it could have something to do with stability of the system. If you will look at the memory tab, it will show that you currently are running 9-11-11-29 at 800MHz (or close which is normal) If you look at the XMP settings on the SPD tab, you will see XMP 1600 it will show what it should be. 9-9-9-24 2T.
Ok so i figured out what the problemen was and i feel kinda stuphid about it.
Because you reccomended when installing the new driver to only install what was needed i figured to deselect all other options, but it turns out you get this problem if you dont install Catalyst Control Centre.
So with my system seeing my graphics card again, i can finnaly start gaming to see if the BSOD's are solved.
If i still get it i will look further at my memory.
Robinsk8, I am really not sure about that. I always recommend not installing CCC and have never seen this. I have an HTPC with an AMD card in it and I never installed CCC and have never had a driver problem. So, that is a new one on me. But, whatever the reason I am glad you have the drivers installed. I hope it works well for you.
Ok well i'm sure one of the addons have resolved this problem.
I tried using a working graphics card from that colluege of mine (Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870) and clean installed the same driver (15.4, i got the same result.
And also he couldn't find any info in BIOS.
