Good Day, Everyone

Okay i Have an i5 Desktop which starts up perfectly and everything runs. It boots and goes into windows all the sound works and the VGA cable is plugged into the Graphics card. The Bios is set to detect and run the graphics and it works. But strange thing it does not list the graphics card in the device manager. It only shows the intel HD standard driver listed. I have tried downloading the software from msi and still no success.

Specifications as follow:

I5 620 Intel 3ghz CPU
2GB Ram
500 GB seagate hard drive
MSI H55M-P31 Motherboard
MSI 210 1GD3 Graphics Card
450W Psu
 
Solution
Safe mode runs okay, and normal mode runs okay prior to installing GeForce driver - - correct?

Then it's the GeForce driver that's the problem. I see GeForce also lists several older driver versions for the 210 GPU from last year as well as the latest one. Try a driver from last year (but avoid/ignore any "beta" drivers).

Save mode is quite fine. Starts up perfectly . Okay at first there was no display but fixed that by reseting the bios. Okay the Gprahics card is Listed in device manager as Standard VGA graphics. Then i uninstalled it and updated driver software to the correct Nvidia software. As soon as the setup reboots the computer it freezes on startup. Now and then it will run fine but other times it will just freeze up again..
