Update your GPU drivers.

Installed graphics card drivers?

[payne2008]

Everything is installed. Idk about the gpu though

GPU is up to date. Or thats what the windows update says. And it still doesnt show the options

[SnOwBunZz]

Which GPU do you have? Perhaps it's best to manually update it.

[payne2008]

Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS

If you have the 64bit version of windows 7:

If you have the 32bit version of windows 7:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-wi...ql-driver.html

If you don't know which version you have, you need to right-click 'my computer', select properties and it'll tell you which version you have at 'system type'.

I have already did that and it still doesnt give me the options

EDIT: I JUST FOUND that it says that it says that I am not using my nvidia gpu. How do I make it active?

You need to disable your integrated graphics card in your BIOS.

[payne2008]

Where is that? >.< I am a noob haha

When your PC starts, there's this beep and some black MS-DOS-like screen pops up before windows loads right?

During that screen you'd need to press 'F1', 'F10', 'F12' or 'DEL' to access your BIOS. It usually is one of those anyways.
If it isn't it's written on that screen either way, usually 'press *key* to enter setup/bios/cmos'.

As to disable the IGP, I can't really help you there so you'd have to look around in the BIOS. Search for something like 'PCI' 'IGP' 'Integrated GPU' 'Integrated graphics controller'.

If you can't find it, exit the BIOS WITHOUT saving.
The BIOS is essential to your boot-up procedure and quite a few settings of your hardware. Messing around with these without knowing what they do could mean your PC won't be able to boot anymore or it would be damaged.
