I really hate posting on forums because my questions always go unanswered, but I'm desperate. So here goes:
I have Dell Precision M4800 and I recently started having problems with my installed FirePro M5100 graphics card. The problem started when it was connected to an external display, and it would frequently cut off and stop working.
I tried updating the driver, but it didn't work. Then when I attempted to uninstall it, it came back as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter". And now in device manager I get "This device cannot start (Code 10)"
I'v tried re-installing the driver from the Dell website (both the desktop and the Dell installer) and neither worked. Under the AMD Catalyst, I get the following information:
Name Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6821&SUBSYS_05CC1028&REV_00\4&1C0E275D&0&0008

Adapter Description Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

I am currently using the Intel Graphics card also on-board, but cannot use any extended monitors. How can I get my graphics card to work? Please help!!
