How do I check what Graphics Card I have on Windows 7?

Why is my new ATI/XFX HD 4650 Graphics Card not working?!?

  • I just bought a ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics card. I use a 64 bit windows 7 computer, my old NVIDIA drivers are uninstalled and on board graphics are auto-disabled. So, I put in my card. It says that it needs no external power supply, and I check for plugs just in-case. Not finding anything, I insert the card and close the case. I attached my monitor to the card and start up the machine. I see the normal start-up screen, with information on starting bios... And the card's fan seems to be working. I insert the install disc, and it tells me that no XFX products were found. k... So, I go into the device manager and I don't find the card anywhere. Infact, I don't see anything related to graphics AT ALL, and when I tried to install the drivers from the Catalyst installer from ATI/AMD's site I found that if I click install, the whole program crashes and I'm not told until five minutes after the crash. I don't even get an error message. I've tried re-inserting the card, with no luck. I've tried the disc, which tells me to go to XFXforce.com for optimized drivers. No help there. I've tried bios, which gives me extremely limited control over the computer, which said nothing about graphics. I've asked Mr. Google and Mr. Yahoo quite a couple of times with no real success, so I'm asking the community. What is happening? How can I resolve it?

I'm having problems too. My system crashed so hard I had to do a restore. I found a Win 7 Catalyst Installer at the ATI site. It runs without crashing, installs a new driver (dated 8/25/2010), the error log shows no problem but I can't find the Catalyst Console anywhere.
