Hi, I am tring to do a clean install of Win 8 in UEFI mode and can't figure how to get a graphic card to work. Some advise turning off secure boot ( How?), but i can't even get started. When I disable CSM in my Asus M5A97 motherboard, my screen goes blank. I had an Nvidia 7300SE card which needs an upgrade to run in Win 8, but the new drivers wont install in my XP 32 computer. I finally gave up and ordered a new GT220 card which is supposed to work in Win 8, only to discover that it needs new drivers installed too. So, how can I upgrade my card to work in a UEFI installation?
If I get some one to upgrade the drivers in a Win 7 computer, can I then switch the card over to my computer? Or, can I go into troubleshoot, command prompt during startup and get Win 8 to install the graphics driver before the OS install? It's really a catch 22 situation. You need the new drivers for the install, but can't install them until after the install. I would really appreaciate any advice. Thanks
