Problem with my Radeon HD 7850

[freemason]

Hello everyone, today i bought a Gigabyte radeon 7850 graphics card. I put the graphics card into my computer. I added the power connector and then i turned my computer on. I put in the disc i got with the card inside my computer and installed the latest AMD drivers. However, i started to get problems. It's like the grpahics card isnt recognized by any program. Neither by the overclocking tool i got with the gigabye nor windows 7. I went to see what my performance information was on windows' scale and i couldnt update that because there was a problem with a driver. With my last graphic card, the ati hd 5450, this never happened. I am currently running amd's 12.6 drivers. Please help!

I updated to 12.7 and i still get the message "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the amd driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your amd hardware." everytime i reboot.

I just used "AMD Driver Auto Detect " program to see if it can detect my card. It detected Radeon HD 3xxx Series PCIe and not my 7850...

Weired, never seen it auto detect to a random config like that.

Did you try removing the driver in the control panel and letting windows get the latest driver? That has worked for me in the past.

Try using a driver removal utility, then re-install the latest drivers. If that doesn't work, you probably need to RMA it, as your previous GPU worked fine.
