I have a client that is looking to upgrade their office workstations from Winows 7 to Windows 8 and has asked me to look into this for them, they have given us 3 systems to test, and although the initial installation has gone fine, there is a big issue with the video card drivers, the system is very unstable and with error messages being displayed every minute or so stating that it has issues with the Intel drivers, it eventually crashes out and reboot. I have searched the web and cannot locate a suitable driver, can anyone advise me as to if there is a driver available for this model.
OK, I don't fully understand your answer as its not the CPU that's the problem, the problem is the inbuilt video controller, if you are saying that this is the issue and that there is no upgrade path for this system because of the video card then this surely would be a very large oversight on Intels behalf, as this system is a standard office system for a lot of companies, we know of at least 6 large corporate companies that use the DC7700 systems over here with I would easily guess at least over 400+systems over jut the 6 companies we deal with, if there is not an upgrade path available i doubt if these companies would be that happy to purchase HP systems again just in case the same issues occur a year or two down the line.
This issue with the systems seem to be just the video controller as the default driver loaded under windows 8 is the vista based driver, and this keeps failing, and when it finally crashes it states again that the issue is the video controller, and even looking at device manager the only issue is the display driver, all others are OK. So why is the problem the CPU, please clarify!!!
Intel HD Graphics 3000/2000 & 4000/2500 are the only two graphics products that we provide Windows 8 drivers for. Intel HD Graphics (no number) for 1st gen core processors and pentium/celeron chips have Windows 8 driver support provided by Microsoft*. Anything before that, including Q965/Q963 (also known as Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000) does not have driver support for Windows 8.

Also, is there anywhere I can download a 'driver pack' for this model and other, older models (dc7800 SFF for example) for windows 10? I've got over 100 of these machiens that I'm upgrading to Windows 10 via MDT. Being able to import the drivers so they install automatically would make my life soooo much easier.
This package contains the Intel Local Management Service (LMS) and Serial-over-LAN (SOL) support for Active Management Technology (AMT) as part of the Intel Digital Office Initiative for the supported desktop models and operating systems.NOTE: Previous versions of Intel LMS and SOL Software must be uninstalled prior to installing this updated version of the software.
This started when I found out this used hp dc 7700 has a radeon x1300 in it that didn't have the right driver. I don't remember the order I did everything in but now my device manager doesnt even show anything about a display adapter OR anything about a pci simple communications controller. I think after I installed ATI's software my display adapter section disapeared then I noticed a flag by the pci simple communications controller. I read something that lead me to believe something from intels site could get rid of the flag and maybe let me see my graphics card (HECI_allOS_2.1.22.1033_PV) but I think it just took away the pci part. I can't find anything that supports my pc either because it's windows 10 or it may not have the requirements. Before the pci simple communications controller disapeared it had a yellow flag next to it but I do still have its vendor and developer number. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2994&SUBSYS_2801103C&REV_02 I'd be thrilled if anyone can help!
This package contains the graphics driver for the supported ATI Graphics Cards in the supported desktop models and operating systems. NOTE: To determine the correct driver for your configuration, check the "Devices Supported" section, which is included on the Release Notes tab for each SoftPaq.
If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. Enter HP Compaq dc7700 into the search box above and then submit. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system.
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
If you don't see an Intel or Broadcom ethernet controller listed under the network adapters device manager category, or you don't see an ethernet controller listed where the PCI Simple Communications Controller was listed before I gave you the driver to install, then yes, the onboard ethernet chip is dead.
I can't find the driver for my PCI simple communications controller that's compatable with windows 8.1 64 bit. could anyone point me in the right direction (hopefully a link to the exact driver i need)? i've already spent a lot of time looking.
The only suggestion I can offer would be to compare the driver version and date of the current graphics driver (click on the driver tab for the graphics adapter in the device manager), and check the latest Windows Vista graphics driver on your dc7700's support page.
