I just bought and built a gaming PC with an MSI GTX 970. Apparently, the Intel HD Graphics 4600 are being detected from my i5-4690K instead of the 970. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but I have already messed around with drivers and seen no result of the problem being fixed. Any suggestions?
 
Solution
See if you can disable Integrated Graphics in Bios. That should normally force the 970 to be recognised.

1. Install driver fusion
2. Uninstall Intel graphic driver.
3. Reboot in safe mode
4. Clean Intel and Nvidia drivers with driver fusion.
5. Shut down.
6. Unplug your computer.
7. Install new graphic card in PCI-E 16x slot (upper one if you have more than one)
8. Plug all the required power connectors in your card.
9. Plug monitor into your new graphic card.
10. Plug back powercord into your computer.
11. Boot into windows and install new drivers and application profiles (they are separate files)
