You're still not posting enough information for us to help you. :-)
What games are you trying to play?
What settings are you trying to play these games at (graphics settings in particular?)
Your CPU has a built in graphics device. Are you using that instead of the graphics card?
Which connector did you attach your display to, the one on the motherboard or the one on your graphics card?
What frame rates are you seeing?
On another note, how have you determined your graphics card isn't helping speed things up?

Have you tried installing older versions of the drivers? Have you checked Device Manager for any issues?

Verify that it is seated correctly by removing then re-inseting it. Verify your power cables are plugged into the card. Install latest Nvidia Geforce drivers.

Also, I suggest running a virus scan with Malwarebytes, coming from someone whom used to do it (got busted basically) you may have a RAT on your computer. Someone may be using your computer's specs to their advantage such as mining a Virtual Currency from it. Also, if they were to go onto your computer and stream your desktop to their computer, your frame-rate would die. Another thing to do is close everything on your computer that uses internet, through task manager. Then, go into CMD and type "netstat -ano" If it comes up "Established" then you have someone connected to your computer. (Make sure to type "netstat -ano" without quotes.

Your statement that: your graphics card runs, but doesn't send any signals, makes no sense. How does a graphics card run but not send signals? Fans on the graphics card spinning does not mean that the graphics card is working. That means it has power, and that's about all it means. If the fan speed changes, you may be able to go so far as to assume that the graphics card has loaded it's own BIOS, but you still can't assume it's working, or properly working in the system in which it's installed. Generally speaking though, it either works or it doesn't.
Can you turn your computer on and have Windows load, and have a display on your screen, or can't you?
If your computer doesn't send any signals when you plug your display into your graphics card, how are you running software such as Malware Bytes?

Best solution
Then your add-in board graphics card is not working. Sounds like you need to reseat it, as has been previously mentioned, or RMA it for a replacement. There is no good reason for you to complain of your add-in graphics card not working, if you're not even using it to play your games. Either you're plugged into and using it to play your games, or not, and at this point, you're using the HD graphics from your processor, which by no means can play your games at decent frame rates. So, the first thing to do is troubleshoot your add-in graphics board problems so you can boot to Windows and have display when your display device is plugged into it, instead of the graphics from the motherboard.
