    After I installed a new cpu water cooler and put the graphics card back in the pci slot I did not have the power wires hooked up. When I first turned the pc on there was no display on the monitor so I shut down and reopened the case to see the power wires not plugged in.I hooked up the wires and turned the pc on and that's when it installed the standard vga adapter with the ati Radeon drivers that where always there.So,after uninstalling and deleting the second standard vga adapter, rebooting,it shows 2 standard vga adapters in device manager. There was always one before when you uninstall the display adapter, and now there is two. After installing the 14.4 drivers it shows the amd Radeon hd 7900 series drivers there in device manager and standard vga adapter there also. I think the second one is for the Intel hd graphics. I have pci set in the bios for the graphics, but for some reason the Intel hd graphics is showing up also in device manager and in the asus bios tweaker page it now shows igpu max freq setting that was not there before. I just did a scan with driver genius and the second standard vga adapter is for the Intel hd graphics driver. Can not figure out why pci and the Intel hd are both showing up when pci is set in the bios for the display. Anyone have any ideas..

    Yep,did all that but it keeps installing the second standard vga adapter upon reboot. I think it has to do with my bios. There is new listings on the Asus ai tweaker page. Now there is igpu max freq setting,igpu voltage offset mode,igpu offset voltage, and in the Graphics Config it shows igpu freq-350 MHz and igpu memory auto. All these igpu settings in the bios were never there before since I never used the Intel hd graphics on the motherboard.For some reason when I never hooked up the power to the 7970 and booted to desktop,shutdown, hooked up pwr cables, rebooted is when all this started. Do you think if I reflashed the bios it will get rid of the igpu settings that are in the bios and the second standard vga adapter.

    The vga adapter is listed in device manager because u haven't installed the proper Intel drivers. There isn't a problem tbh, disable the Intel igp in BIOS and you're done.

    Thanks for the help. I reflashed the bios and now it only shows the normal ati Radeon hd graphics driver listing in device manager.

    I would ask those bios engineers how they made that virtual iGPU in i7-930 :)

    The mobo he has listed is a x58, and no Igpu...

    i dont see him mentioning a Z77 anywhere, and if he did, it certainly wont support a 930...

    He is right NOWHERE I can see in the .pdf manual is there anyway to disable the iGPU....

    All I can find is this, setting it to PEG instead of Auto should hopefully sort it out.

    ^ Primary set to PCIe and render stand by set to disable, disables the IGP
