I've just bought this PC second hand and it has a fresh Win 7 Home Premium OS on it. However I noticed it didn't run Aero. When I looked closer it was because the graphics adapter was just Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. So I tried to update it with the latest drivers, but when I reboot it crashes shortly after the initial splash screen.
I have the DQ77CP board, an i5 3470 CPU. I'm sure this has the HD2500 integrated graphics on it and that's what I've tried updating it with - even using Intel's own driver update utility.
What can I do to install the correct graphics drivers so it doesn't crash? Thanks.
