You need to disable the on-board graphics in BIOS.

However, according to this;

your board does not have any onboard graphics.

sorry about this but i cant find a way to turn off the onboard graphics,

This for the motherboard you have listed in your specs,

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS M4A77T

or a different one seeing as that board doesn't have onboard graphics.

 

[clarky]

its showing up as integrated graphics in device manager and its all the same as in the specs as i put in the bio, m4a77t mobo, phenom ii 555 and currently trying the nvidia graphics as i have the drivers on disc handy

Could you please post a screen shot of Device Manager showing the display adapter as well as the properties for it.

Heck I'd like to know what you are connecting the monitor cable too, as there isn't a VGA port of any kind on that motherboard.

there you go, hope it helps

ummm. You do know that u can press Prt Scrn on ur keyboard and paste it in paint and save it and it will be come a image file.

Did you uninstall ur gpu's drivers before installing the HD 5770? Usually when u insert a dedicated gpu, the onboard is suppose to disable itself.

 

[clarky]

i didnt know that thanks and i did uninstall all the catalyst drivers proir to putting that one in

 

[clarky]

i have tried uninstalling the drivers on both occasions but they (5770 and gt240) both show up as an integrated card

 

[stormy13]

From that picture that isn't onboard graphics, that means you haven't installed the driver for the video card yet.

Back to Device Manager and the properties for the card. click on the Details tab, scroll to Hardware IDs and post back what it shows there.

@ imeem, there is no onboard graphics on his motherboard, so there is nothing to disable.

posted a cleared image

 

[clarky]

is this what your after?

 

[clarky]

and this is what keeps coming up in the driver part, i have tried the drivers from the respective websites too but they say there is no hardware there to match

That's the basic driver that Windows 7 installs to give you functionality.
But, your motherboard doesn't have on board graphics.
With on board graphics, you don't have to install a graphics card.

You can download drivers from here....

Before we go any further here, is this a legit copy of Windows? Reason for asking is that the product ID showing in one of your screen shots is a known one for one of the illegal/pre-activated versions floating around,



Your computer wouldn't happen to be from HP would it as that is usually what that product ID shows up on?
