Hi,

the problem i have is that the computer works fine manage to install windows on using the on board Intel graphics but as soon as i plug my graphics card in it but it doesn't recognize it even tho the fans are spinning away. Ive got it in the blue pci slot so that's not a problem Ive installed the latest version of the bios, all drivers installed and updated using driver reviver but it still wont detect the graphics card it also wont let me install the software for this as it says no geforce graphics card detected. Ive also got the external power port connected which is why i don't understand what is going on. Ive build a PC for myself and this one is for a friend and wouldn't mind getting it to work. the graphics card is in correctly and fixed to the case. i also tried to select the settings in the bios to pci for graphics but not sure what the rest has to be if anyone has come across this problem before all answer will be appreciated and i will try every solution.

cheers in advance

im not 100% sure what u mean sorry .. i cant install any driver for it as it needs to be able to detect the graphics card before it allows u to install well by the look of things that is cause when im installing it, it comes up with error before it give u any options to install it says it cant detect any compatible graphic hardware .. if that makes sense so by the look of things its not detecting the card which is the part i dont understand as even with out the psu connected it still spins the fans

cheers
