SnowMan Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 So I recently purchased the invida geforce gtx 470 graphics card right? Well I replaced it in my desktop and it just says power enablign safe mode.. But in my screen resolution it says I still have my old one or something: I've tried installing the new driver, but it says it is up to date Any ideas? YES IT IS PUT IN RIGHT, I promise. I even took it out and hooked the old one up and it works fine ?? Trying to make it able to play a game I don't have enough dedicated ram I even bought DRiveragent and ran it, nothing happened, so I returned it. What do I do lol.. I'm not tech savvy Also ---- If you can help me, I can pay you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialGFX Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) First off, you want to uninstall the current driver. 1. Find "Device Manager" (if you can't find it just tell me what version of windows you're running) 2. Go to display driver > find the name of the display graphics card 3. Right click > uninstall that driver. 4. Restart Then, go here and have it automatically search for the correct driver; http://www.geforce.com/drivers Edited December 19, 2016 by Socialism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
