i just built my first pc: i have a z97 a mobo - & a gtx970 gpu . i am having problems downloading the nvidia drivers. i used the disc that came with the gtx970, and it says i must have nvidia grahics to install these drivers. so i tried from the nvidia website and it says my graphic card is not copmpatiable. maybe my graphics card is not fully seated ? also there is an 8 pin and a 6pin slot. all i have plugged in is the 8 pin. this is because when i have both plugged in, the monitor dvi has no signal to the pc. Is there something i need to do in the BIOS.. like disable the built in graphics card? is so how do i do that

thanks in advance.

when i have them both plugged in my dvi has no signal, therefore i cant even see anything on my monitor.
