Graphics Card Issue
    #23719394 - 10/08/16 12:48 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

hey sorry for asking you guys here for help but i have had help before from the shroomery.

i just got this new desktop and it was cheap so its kinda basic.
it came with windows 10 and i was able to play games on it but really slow.
well i started having small issues on it so i reformated it to windows 7 thinking it would speed up my game play.

after i installed the windows 7 os i downloaded second life and bluestacks to see if they would run any faster.

well now i get the message that says your graphics card is out dated or needs to update drivers. im familyer with this message.

the issue is now the graphics card reads standard vga graphics adapter. there seems to be no type of update for this. whats really grinding my gears is that when i had windows 10 installed the games were able to run. but now its saying i need to install updates but i cant find updates for standard vga graphics adapter

any help would be appreciated thanks :frown:

Can you reinstal windows 10? If you don't know what kind of graphics card you
have then you don't know what drivers you need. You can download a thing called
CPU-Z and it will tell you all of your specs on your pc. Then you can search
for the latest drivers for your gpu.

I'm kinda confused about what you have and don't have. How many places in the back of the computer is there to plug in a monitor? It's cheap so the likelihood of having a motherboard without on board graphics are kind of low. Therefore if you only have one spot you don't have a graphics card at all. All you have is on board graphics. If you have 2+ you have a dedicated graphics card and on board graphics. If you have both your monitor needs to be plugged into the graphics card before it's gonna show up. Windows 10 has nothing to do with the card. The drivers you need will either be based on your motherboard or will be based on your graphics card depending on which you have/don't have.

shroomslip its only one plug in so its onboard graphics

the problem is when i first got it like 5 days ago it was already installed with windows 10 and i was able to play second life and bluestacks and what not. it was slow but they were able to run.
i reformated the pc and now the programs wont run cause they say the drivers are out dated or not installed.

i went to device manager and tried to update the graphics drivers but it wouldnt find any updates

i ran the cpu-z program and got some info but im not sure what im looking for

I'm not really familiar with that program but I'd try the "Graphics" tab and see what it says.

I googled the motherboard and these are the two pcs that came up, is one of them yours?

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=3658107

If so you answer the two questions and then download the driver under graphics. If neither of those is yours, tell me the make/model of your tower.

You just bought the PC right? It should say on the box lol. Otherwise there may be a label on the tower somewhere that says model. And you don't load the driver, you just install it. It should be an .exe file you downloaded.

Np, glad it works. Anytime you reinstall windows no matter what version you have to install drivers for the graphics. There may be other drivers you need to install manually as well on some PCs (like mine I have to also do the network driver before I can access internet or anything).
