My monitor doesn't detect my graphics card

Tobysanz · Jan 21, 2014

It was working fine before until I recover my PC. Now it won't show but I know that it's on. I checked to see if it's in correctly. What do I do?

Update your drivers and make sure you are actually plugged in to your GPU and not your motherboard.

bmanv13 :

yes, that's what I did. But let me make sure, how do you update your drivers? Windows update?

bmanv13 · Jan 21, 2014

Tobysanz :

Nope that's for the OS. So to your Asus's or Nvidia's website (which ever brand you have) and look up the drivers for your model of GPU (ex. AMD: r9 280x, r9 290, etc; Nvidia: GTX760, GTX770, etc.)

But doesn't it suppose to be install first... I did it and it says that it can't be found. Got the right one but it needs to be install

Here's your driver, click yes/agree on everything and let it install. See what that does for you.

It says that it doesn't detect the card. It's not in my computer because when I put it in, nothing shows up, I switch to my card outport and the motherboard and nothing shows up, until I take out the card

Tobysanz :

So with the hard plugged in, you said that put plugged your monitor in at the motherboard, correct? Did you make sure the card is fully seated into the PCI slot?
