Please Help, don't want to let my dad down.
I just recently built a computer for my dad and everything turned on installed most of the drivers. I installed Path of Exile and got a few error messages when trying to run. "Could not find any Compatible Direc3D Devices" and "DXUT Create Device Failed" Online forum searches led me to installing the latest graphics card drivers. I tried doing so by going to Intel's website and by using the Nvidia Geforce application that came with my graphics card. Intel's website would recognize I needed drivers. I would try to install them, then they would tell me to restart my computer when finished. Once computer booted back up it would still say they were not installed. When using the Nvidia Geforce application it recommends a driver to install. Then I press install driver and it says downloading driver but it is all zeroed out. 0 downloaded out of 0 driver size at 0KB/sec download speed and just does nothing.
Could I have installed the graphics card incorrectly while building the computer/given it the wrong power cable or something??? I was under the impression that I would not be able to reach my Windows screen If I did that, but who knows. I am running Windows 7 64. When I go to Control panel and device manager under display it reads,
"Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600" In first slot and
"Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" in 2nd."
I have a GeForce GTX960
Any help you can provide would greatly be appreciated. Thanks guys, was really trying to save my dad money by building him a gaming computer so I don't want to be unsuccessful in my attempts.
