My motherboard stopped working and took my graphics card with it about a week ago. I replaced them both (after a frustrating three days) and aside from some driver issues with windows 10, everything seemed to be working fine until this morning.
I turn my PC on and find that the computer only detects the Integrated card. I go into BIOS and tell it to default to PCI-E, but this doesn't seem to help. Within Windows, Device Manager doesn't detect my new graphics card.
After having lost one weekend to these problems, I used a system restore because that's a solution within my level of technical competency. Bad move. I foolishly undid a motherboard driver update and now I no longer have USB function, which means I'm using the windows 10 virtual mouse. To make matters even worse, the integrated card doesn't seem to have compatible drivers with win10, making everything a barely-functional mouseless nightmare.
The motherboard is an ASUS P8 H61-M LE R2.0 and doesn't appear to have Win10 drivers despite the official site claiming the contrary. It's new, like I mentioned earlier. I don't think the motherboard is the problem, but everything I think I know is suspect.
The card is an XFX R7800, also new, leading me to be skeptical that it's just old and dead.
The card's fans are powering on - but so much is going wrong or has gone wrong or will go wrong I really don't know where to begin. ...So many hours of labor trying to get this running so I can play XCOM for 30 minutes, miss an easy shot and ragequit.
Update: The card was itself hosed. The other problems were, as far as I can tell, concidental.
