I recently bought different parts and built my pc myself,

The problem is that i've checked device manager and it doesn't show my Graphic cards, i also can't install the driver because the driver software doesn't detect my GPU but the Logo does light up (Of the gtx 970 card)



I installed the GTX 970 to the MOBO
I have my hdmi cables connected from monitor to MOBO, if i remove from MOBO, screen goes black

This is my first time building a PC so now I've hit a brick wall.
The Gtx 970 Logo does light up by the way.

These are my specs

i7 4790k
Asro Z97 Anniversary Z97
CoolerMaster G550M 550W ATX
G1 Gaming GTX 970

With the GPU removed
When i check with device manager, It only shows me Microsoft Basic Display Adapter doesn't show Intel HD graphics

This was also before, when GPU was inserted it would show me Microsoft Basic Display Adapter

The thing is the nVIDIA software doesn't detect my nVIDIA card so it doesn't let me install the drivers
