Since windows 7 has a large database of drivers built-in, most of the devices on the motherboard may have found compatible drivers in the Win 7 Driver Database, with the exception the on-board graphics.
The best option is to upgrade to a dedicated Windows 7 compatible PCI Express graphics card, which you can easily install to bypass the on-board graphics.
A dedicated graphics card will also free up system memory previously borrowed by the on-board graphics.
AMD's DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. But you can install ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7.Some features may not be available under windows 7 but it would be worth a try.
AMD’s DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not
officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can
install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows
7. Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver
(WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics
driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support). Using the ATI Catalyst
Windows Vista driver under Windows 7 is not officially supported by AMD,
and as such AMD will not provide any form of customer support for users
running in this configuration
It doesn't seem that there are Windows 7 drivers for your motherboard (I'm assuming you're talking about your onboard graphics) - See here.
The best option you have is trying to install the VGA drivers for Windows 2000/XP and hope that works. Otherwise you're going to have to revert to Windows XP for your grapics to function correctly.
Another option you have is installing a 3dcard on the motherboard. Click here for a complete list of graphics cards supported.
Then you need a graphics driver that will support Windows 7. If your motherboard onboard VGA is up to Windows Xp only and below then probably you will not able to use it to that kind of operating system like windows vista, and 7. My suggestion is that you buy a graphics card that will run and support windows vista and windows 7.
