1) The video AMD Radeon 8770M graphics card is not recognized and does not work. Is there a compatibility issue with windows 8? Must the software be

It is recognized, but your computer only shows the Intel HD4000 because of the way the Catalyst switchable graphic software works. It is annoying, but you have to tell the machine manually what software will work at high performance, using then the Radeon GPU. For example, I have this pc and when playing Starcraft 2: Heart of the Zwarm, at full resolution, the framerate is about 40 fps average, which is imposible to get from the crappy HD4000.

Good day. I have an Asus AMD motherboard with 8 gigs of ram, a FX-8320 Eight Core CPU, two AMD Radeon 7800 Series Video Cards and Windows 8.1 and I have no issues at all. Works rather well.

Yes Charles! AMD is responsible for providing drivers for the card, and they have drivers available for both 64 bit and 32 bit Windows 8. You may download the 64 bit drivers here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_win8-64.aspxAnd the 32 bit drivers here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_win8-32.aspxHope this helps!

I have to agree with the previous suggestion. Remove and reseat the card, make sure your monitor cables are plugged in all the way (Bent pins can be a problem). Try it on another PC if available, or send it back to the vendor.I bought this care and am very happy with it.

I have the AMD one, and so far it's worked like a charm! I can't find anything wrong with the graphics at all.

I have windows 7 but not sure what kind of video card I have. The game works fine for me.

I use it on windows vista, so I cannot say if it works with windows 8, but go to nvidia.com and see there if it will work.

Last machine I ran it on was a win7 republic of gamers laptop. It had to run in compatability mode, but I was able to play it (with minimal hicups, but some graphical degradation) I was using a beefy spec rig though, your mileage may vary. I havent tested it on windows 8/8.1

Actually hold off, there may be a problem with video video output with the adopter. I'll look into it tonight at work and get back to you later tonight.

My unit just arrived a couple days ago and I am unable to play video using Windows Media Center as well. I tried downloading the "latest" video drivers from Asus, which were months old - even more outdated than what was already installed! "Updating" (downdating?) the video drivers did nothing to improve the problem. The video files play perfectly on the PC using Windows Media Player; but not Windows Media Center. I get audio and a motionless garbled or black picture only.

I seriously doubt there are any windows 8 drivers for such an old monitor. Usually windows is pretty good about finding correct drivers but generally this type of monitor shouldn't need any special drivers. I don't have mine anymore but I seem to remember it working just fine with win7 so I would try using those drivers.

There is a driver for Win 8.1 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064 )

I am using windows 7 for this PC Game. Ensure the video card specifications shown on the game box is compatible with with the card installed in your computer for optimum performance

Just bought this recently and the bios has been updated to work with that processor. If you are planning to run a separate graphics card all should work great. I set this up to run the on chip graphics and could only find drivers compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (not Vista or any previous version of Windows). If you run Windows 7 or 8 operating system and on chip graphics, the correct video drivers can be downloaded from AsRock.

I just recent bought this laptop 07/28/2010 for casual gaming and just regular daily use. The ATI Mobile Radeon has many issues with games I have tried especially Starcraft 2. Its not that its this computer's fault but games like Starcraft 2 and Dragon Age Origins has issues with this computer because they have capability issues with the graphics card. I'm running on the newest drivers and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and the game crashes after a few minutes and either no error message is displayed or it indicates that there is a graphic card compatibility issue. I've tried the a couple of the older drivers and it has the same problems. I just recent bought this laptop 07/28/2010 for casual gaming and just regular daily use.

Was a tad bit wonky on first use. After I installed the driver/config software it work okay. What OS are you using? I am not sure if it is completely Win 8/8.1 compatible.
