Windows 7 won't accept graphics card

[shadowgunner9]

I partitioned my hard drive today and split it into two, one containing Windows Vista and the new partition containing Windows 7. I booted up the Windows 7 partition for the first time and the colors were all weird, and it appeared to be a graphics card problem. I decided to update the drivers, and got the most recent ones. I installed the drivers and rebooted and everything, but it was still the same weird color. It's a problem with my graphics card, because when I go to Device Manager, it has a yellow triangle by the graphics card, and when clicked upon the properties, it gives Code 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." I have no idea what to do, and I hope someone on here does. Thanks for the help.

My computer:
-Nvidia Gefore 8800 GTX
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4 GHz

The graphics card may not be able to run Windows 7 as the Windows Aero interface needs DX10 or DX11 to operate correctly

I know it is capable of DirectX 10, and shouldn't it be Windows 7 compatible if drivers are created for it?

If you get a code 43 with both Vista and Win7 then it's R.I.P. graphics card. I presume you are limited to 800x600 VGA output. Is the card's fan spinning up?
If you get the code 43 on Win7 only then that would indicate you haven't updated/loaded the motherboards chipset drivers.

The 8-series video cards are DX10 compatible.
@shadowgunner9, it would be good if you could post a screenshot.
BTW going by your description and as dividebyzero mentioned most probably and quite unfortunately your GPU has died

Instead of using Device Manager's driver updater, go directly to the video card manufacturer's website for the driver.
