Dedicated graphic card not appearing

ethereal nova · Jun 10, 2014

I off my computer and after 10 minutes my sister said that she want to use it, okay i'll just on back my comp and guess what? Nothing happens to my monitor. So after that i fiddled a bit and i found out that when i plug in the wire that connects the monitor to the dedicated graphic card slot to the motherboard's slot, it worked! but then my computer wont recognize my GTX650 and I've tried going to the NVIDIA control panel and they wont start because there's no NVIDIA graphic card. Same thing when i goes to device manager, they will only display my intel hd graphic 2000. Also my graphic cards fan is running when i am typing this. Any help is deeply appreciated thanks!

Hey, in the BIOS there should be an option whether to use the integrated graphics or the discreet video card.

Did you install the Video Card drivers from the disk provided with the purchase of the Video Card?

yea i used this card for several months now and i dont have any problems with it until now, i've updated the driver to the latest version and now i've tried installing again, nothing happens since computer cant detect my graphic card

Hmmm....try going through the BIOS and search for a setting to use either the Integrated Graphics or the Dedicated Graphic Card because it sounds to me like its a conflict that has arose which isn't unheard of happening. You don't need to uninstall any of the Intel Drivers because it shouldn't be a driver conflict. The video ports could have died on the motherboard which is all very possible.

What motherboard do you have? Also what Operating System are you using (including 32bit or 64bit).

The card won't be detected if there is no monitor plugged into it. It might just be the bios option previously mentioned.

motherboard is h61m-d2-b3 and its windows 7 64bit and on BIOS for 'onboard VGA' its already on 'enable if no ext PEG'

ethereal nova :

Disable "Onboard VGA". Onboard VGA is the integrated graphics unit.

for onboard VGa theres only two options 1 is enable if no ext Peg and the other one is always enable, theres no disable option

ethereal nova :

You could try to cycle through that option of "Enable if no ext PEG." I just read the entire user's manual for your motherboard and it seems like maybe you might be able to cycle through it.

k1114 · Jun 10, 2014

There is no disable option for any i series. It's automatically off when a graphics card is present and only has a force on option so you can use it with a card. Cycling through those options makes no difference to the card. Can you try a different port on the card? Can you try the card in another pc?

ethereal nova · Jun 10, 2014

cycle as in choose always enable then enable if no ext PEG rite? doing it now

ethereal nova :

Try loading "Fail-Safe Defaults" in the BIOS.

to answer k114's question, if i have no other choice then i'll take out my graphic card and put it on my mothers computer, hopefully that wont happend as she'll complain about me messing with her computer hahaha

nope its not working, my dedicated graphic card is not appearing on device driver

LogicalProcessing · Jun 10, 2014

ethereal nova :

Oh dear...it is hard to diagnose and fix something over the internet. Try going to the Device Manager and disabling the Intel Integrated HD Graphics...it should be under "Display Adapters."

You sure that wont make my screen black?

ethereal nova :

Well...it should only affect your Integrated Drivers...as long as you have your video cable connected to your dedicated graphic card. Your drivers shouldn't be interlaced...your video card will run your display whether or not you have any driver installed.

Well I'd disabled Intel HD graphic, after that my screen goes 800x600 and in the screen resolution theres other resolution but no 1360x768 which i normally use also in the GPU-Z it says my graphic card are intel hd graphic even though i've disabled it

Now that was a test to see if its a driver issue. It has to be a setting in the BIOS because disabling that driver should fix the problem if it was driver related.

Later I'll try removing the graphic card then put it in my mothers computer to see what happend then

Yay! I've fixed it somehow! I took out my graphic card and put it back in and tadaa! somehow my computer detected it! Thanks for the help!

Wow! Gosh...some of the stuff that happens with computers is such a mystery sometimes.

Well I'm glad that you got your Graphics Card working again. :bounce:
