Problems with graphics card driver
I've got a Gigabyte motherboard with on-board VIA graphics and a
Haans.G wide screen monitor. No CD that came with the motherboard though. After downloading the graphics driver from manufacturers website I was able to change the resolution to what I want which is 1280x786pix. After rebooting the computer graphics card driver goes back to generic driver and in device manager I've got a yellow exclamation mark next to the graphics card. I was struggling with the problem for a while also downloading the driver straight from VIA. No luck. Finally fed up with all this situation I bought an AGP graphics card from NVidia, installed the drivers and eventually set the monitor to required settings. All was fine till I rebooted the computer. Guess what... I'm back with generic driver and in device manager I've got a yellow exclamation mark next to the graphics card where it says NVidia .... I attempted one last try updating the BIOS. Didn't help. I run out of ideas. Any suggestions are most welcome. yaro |

If not, after a reboot the board probably reverts to the onboard graphics. hth -- cf I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid. Terry Bradshaw |

Problems with graphics card driver
Oh, and as to the BIOS settings what affect would it have to disable
