Hello. I've been using my computer every day for about half a year with no problems and then I booted it up today (Having last boot it up yesterday) and there was no display.

I switched my monitor off the graphics card and onto the motherboard's VGA and it displayed. So now, my graphics card isn't getting detected for whatever reason (Not in display adapters or getting used).

The card seems fine since the fans are spinning, I've taken it out, booted, put it back in and booted and it didn't solve the issue.
I've had this exact issue before and I essentially did nothing and it just started working again..

What should I do? D:

Try updating your graphics card's driver. If that doesn't work, then please make sure if your card is properly plugged in or you could just remove the card and re-install it into your PCI card slot, that should solve your problem.

Can't, Nvidia's graphics driver installer only installs if it finds compatible hardware, which it can't since my graphics card isn't detected
