Hello everyone,
I have a computer that I built myself a week ago and I would like to share a problem that arose today after I formatted my hard drive to switch from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7.
After installing Windows 7, I installed the drivers for my motherboard and then proceeded with the drivers for my graphics card (with the two installation CDs in the box).
My computer works and I can browse the internet without any problems, but I noticed that my performance index is 1.0, which surprised me. My main issue is that I can't open GPU Tweak, which allows me to configure my graphics card (OC mode, Gaming Mode, Silent Mode), and this very useful software that worked wonderfully on Windows 8.1 is causing trouble on Windows 7. Without this software, I can't turn on the two fans of my graphics card (as it starts automatically at 60°C). On Windows 8.1, I always turned on the fans in Gaming Mode, allowing me to stay at 30-35°C while gaming.
When I click to open this software, an error appears saying, "Fail to load dlls. Please install VGA driver."
I searched for solutions online, but when I downloaded the drivers, my system refused the installation (thanks to it because I wasn't sure what I was doing), which is why I prefer to get opinions on my specific problem rather than trying to find the issue that's closest to mine.
For my setup, I have:
Processor: AMD FX8350
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master V8
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming
Graphics Card: Asus R9 380x Strix OC 4Gb in DDR5
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance
Power Supply: Lepa 800W
OS: Windows 7 32-bit
I installed Windows 7 and all my drivers earlier, I haven't touched anything; I did exactly the same thing on Windows 8.1, but I recovered the hard drive from a laptop, so maybe the "VGA driver" was already installed for its previous configuration.
I am ready to provide any information needed.
I hope to receive help for this first post on a forum; I hope I have described my problem well.
Thank you for reading.
