Hi guys

Ive just put a system together using one of OCUK's OC Bundles.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-042-OE&groupid=43&catid=339&subcat=

If you scroll down to one of the reviews, there is a guy who is having the same problem as me. Basically the OC has knocked out the use of the on board graphics. When installing Intels HD graphics driver the PC freezes up and BSODS. I have to get back into Windows 7 in safe mode and delete the driver for the PC to work again. Windows 7 does find a display driver but you cannot use the correct resolution. Everything is displayed massive.

I know I can buy a graphics card like the guy in the review did to get around the problem but the PC was built to a budget for a friend and they really don't want to fork out anymore £££. I thought these packages would have been tested for this kind of thing?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers :)
 
I have heard about problems with the iX series processors and onboard graphics, it seems like many of them just don't support it.

As Freddie says, there are cheap dedicated graphics cards about, but it might be worth looking around to see if you or a friend have an old graphics card that you're not using any more. If you were gonna go with onboard graphics, a super-cheap dedicated card will give similar performance.
 
You could reset it to stock I guess. It's plenty nippy at 2.93Ghz

I know what you mean though, it doesn't mention anywhere the onboard GPU wouldn't work. Contact OC customer support?

Kind of beats the point of buying an overclocked bundle though. I have contaced customer support but wont hear back from them until the weekend is over. I really need to get this sorted asap so will probably go for a cheap graphics card. I did choose the bundle so I wouldn't have to though. This is one case where I didn't get what it said on the tin!
