I am a first time Pc builder and just built my new Pc 2 days ago. I installed all my parts and installed windows 7. I then installed all the drivers through the disks that came with my parts. After that I went and checked Device manger and found out my my Graphics Card isn't there just on board video. I don't know if my PCI-E slot is broken (hopefully not) or something else. I already went into my BIOS and made sure my primary graphics are set to the PCI-E slot (Also tried PEG) but to no avail. Any suggestions? Anything helps. Thanks!

CPU: AMD FX-6300

Solution
make sure the eight pin power plug on the motherboard is connected. on your gpu there two main power plug max sure both are plugged in. check the bios rev of your mb some times it a bios bug.
