Hi, I just built my new pc and everything seems to be working fine. But it doesn't look like my graphics card is being detected, Tried AMd detect and install. Couldn't detect anything. Also in device manager under display adaptors it isn't there. I looked everywhere. But the thing is my motherboard the M5A97 Le 2.0 Doesn't have onboard video, so the graphics card must be working. Plus the fans are spinning.

What should I do? Is it not inserted properly? Broken? and advice is really appreciated.

Graphics card is XFX Radeon 7870.

In device management is there a device that is not recognized? it will have a ! and a yellow triangle around it. It's most likely just unknown to the system what it is. IF it is there install the driver manually through there. If not let us know so we can keep working on it.

EDIT: be sure to fully update windows then look in device manager. Windows should download the Generic driver for it.
