For the video card to work properly, special software must be installed in a personal computer. This application includes driver files and a utility that allows you to fine-tune the settings of the video adapter.
Necessary
- - Sam Drivers;
- - access to the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
Most often, it is simply impossible to install the correct drivers for a video card using the tools of the Windows operating system. It is better to discard this option at once. Turn on your personal computer and activate your internet connection.
Step 2
Download and install Speccy. This utility can be downloaded from the developers site. It's free for home use.
Step 3
Launch Speccy and open the "Display Adapters" menu. Write down the model of the video card installed in your personal computer. Visit the website of the company that developed this device.
Step 4
Most often, the necessary files can be found on the sites indicated at the end of the article. Follow one of these links. The choice of the site depends on the manufacturer of the video adapter.
Step 5
Open the "Downloads" menu and fill out the form provided. Please note that it is important to correctly indicate not only the model of the video card, but also the operating system that you are currently using. Also pay attention to the bitness of the OS (32 or 64 bits).
Step 6
After downloading the installer, run it. Follow the step by step menu to install the software correctly. Wait for the message about the successful integration of drivers into the system. Reboot your computer.
Step 7
In the event that you could not independently select the necessary drivers or determine the model of the video card, use the Sam Drivers program. Download it from the developers site.
Step 8
Open dia-drv.exe and wait for a while. The application will scan for available devices and determine which programs and drivers need to be installed.
Step 9
Select the checkboxes related to video adapters. They usually contain the word Video in the title. Click the Install button. Go to silent software update mode. Restart your computer after you have finished using the Sam Drivers application.
