    Hi everybody.. new to the forms so i'm not sure if its the right place to post.. I have upgraded my gpu to 7970m a while ago .. I discovered that my vga port is not working correctly .. Is there any fix about this ? i've been reading the forum for couple of hours and couldn't manage to find one .. I am running on 13.4 drivers by the way..

    The video card you mention was not officially approved for your system. If any issues arise it could be because of that. Do all the other ports work ok?
