Today I received my new laptop which I immediately formatted (I hate the crapware on new systems) and installed my own copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. To my surprise, the wireless card and graphics card were not recognised. I downloaded the NVIDIA drivers using my wife's laptop then tried to install them. It threw up an error saying no compatible card found. I'm at a loss and am considering installing Linux. Has anyone else had similar problems after buying a new PC/laptop?
You did go here for the NIC? Try here for the GPU (GeForce 315m?). Tried through Device Manager or Windows Update (wired connection)? HTH philby
Hi Seeker, Yes, with new laptop/pc you will face similar problem. Recently, when I purchased a HP G4 laptop and it came with win 7 home basic installed, like you I wanted to remove the crapware and install win 7 ultimate 64bit. So, I formatted the system and it did not detect my lan, wlan and graphics card. Luckily, I had already downloaded the drivers from HP's website. I think as new hardware and devices are coming out the pre-configured drivers in windows 7 are no longer working with new devices. Thanks, Ziaul
