Hello, guys! I am sorry if I posted this in a wrong section, this topic relates to graphic cards, drivers, system, windows updates, I guess. So, let me explain how did I get this problem. Recently (about a day ago) I decided to re-install my windows 7. My PC was full of crap, as I thought and I decided to re-install my windows, with hope that I will get rid of everything that slows my PC performance (tried Ccleaner and other methods, didn't help that much).
Everything was just fine, I was re-installing my windows by reading this tutorial - http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/151566-reinstalling-windows-7-a.html Eventually I re-installed my windows, I formatted my Local disk, but I was faced with a big problem for me. At first, my network adapter was missing and I did not had any backup, lucky for me, I have old PC, that still works, so I managed to download some netword adapter drivers and put them on my USB. I did fix the network adapter driver problem.
In addition to that problem there still is a problem with my pc graphics. The windows 7 theme seems crappy, the bottom task bar is solid and I can't change my resolutions to my previous ones. It allows me to change display resolution to 1024x768, even though I was having 1366x768. At first I tried to update my video card drivers, it installed them but there were no changes. I tried to look in Device manager, no results. Later this day I decided to talk with my buddy, who re-installed his windows on a Laptop too, as he said, he had the same problem and windows updates solved them. I decided to give it a try and let my PC install all windows offered updates (there were like 148 or smth.). Still no changes. Then I decided to look for solution in internet, I came across a guy with pretty much the same problem but he had another model and mark of laptop. As I read in his comments, he solved it by trying the driver navigator and driver scanner. I downloaded both of them and I am updating all the drivers it offers me to. Recently I checked what's with my VGA and it showed me completely different VGA. Basically my ATI Radeon hd 6470m video card is not being detected by system. I tried to re-install drivers, no luck with that. At the end it shows that no such hardware was found.
As of now, I have DriverScanner running and it's about to update 14 drivers. I would be really glad if anyone could give me some suggestions, so that if DriverScanner does not helps me out, I could try something else. In addition to all that, I want to say that I am kind of in a rush and did not have time to check other topics that may be the same. I hope that someone will be kind enough and help me out.
Also, there is a little smaller problem I have - every time I turn on my computer, once I get on desktop after PC startup, error message pops "ATK0100 driver is requested" (something like that). I will try to google it, but maybe there is someone who knows what's the exact problem and what should I do? That could really save me some time.
Info about my PC:
Model: Asus x54h
Windows: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
VGA: Ati Radeon hd 6470m
Processor: Inter core i3
RAM: 4gb
Windows stored in disc C: (local disk), D: is used for other data
HDD: C:199gb D:153gb
Don't want to risk and look for exact specs, first want my drivers to update, maybe that will solve the case.
If there are any questions you need in order to help me out, ask the question in comments below and I will answer them as soon as possible. If by any chance I get my problem solved by myself, I will post the solution here so that other people can deal with this kind of problem.
Thank you in advance.
