My son is setting up a ASRock Z77 with a Gigabyte Geforce 670 graphics card. The card appears to be powering up (fans are running) but when I go to install the drivers, the installer says it doesn't detect the hardware. System also didn't start in the default VGA mode, I had to use the DVI on the mobo. The 670 has the two power ports, a six and eight prong. His PSU had a six and two four prong power cords, so I used the included adapter to get power from two other plugs and create the 8 prong cord.
Unfortunately I couldn't stay long and try to sort this out. Is there anything I should try or something blatantly wrong that I should go after, or is it a bad card? After I left he told me that there were issues with having the 670 and having the mobo DVI blank out, but I didn't see that. He now has it running off the mobo VGA.
