I have an Asus Maximus VI Hero and Windows 8.1. I have installed the evga GeForce gtx 780 onto the motherboard. When I try to download the drivers it says it can't find compatible hardware. Also when I try to plug in my HDMI or Dual Link DVI-D cable from the graphics card to the monitor, its says no signal. When I plug in the HDMI in the motherboard though, I get a display. I have an ASUS 24' 144Hz monitor and would like to be able to use my card's full potential. Can you guys please give me a step by step process on how I can get my computer to recognize my graphics card so I can start using it? Thank you in advance for the help.

What make and model is your PSU? You need to make sure your PSU can handle the power requirements of your gtx 780. Also, make sure that the graphics card is properly seated on you motherboard's PCIE slot, and that your PSU' PCIE power cables are properly connected to the card.
