That's not a driver issue, it seems your GPU is not being recognized as installed. Go into your BIOS and check your settings, you likely need to change from onboard graphics output to PCI, PCIx or AGP according to what you have.

I had a AMD graphics card, deleted the amd drivers, when i try to install the nvidia ones it doesnt work because it doesnt recognize the card
Bios is set ti pcie-x primary
Could it be to the psu ? the only thing that is working is the fan,and the fan is only working when i connect both 8 and 6 pins, the monitors does not turn on until i connect the monitor directly to the internal gpu..

i do not have another slot, and i dont have a another computer with a good enough psu.
and i noticed when i try to turn on the computer when i have the gpu inserted, it spins the fans on the cpu cooler and the psu and it turns itself off and i have to click 1 or 2 times more on the power button to make it stable and running
so basically i press once it turns itself off, twice off, and the third time it doesnt turn off
I think the gpu cant get enough power considering that i have 2 monitors a i5 3rd gen, and a dual channel ram, it does actually take some good wattage considering thats a lower mark of a psu. But if someone thinks it's not the psu tell me your meaning ? :)

What is the wattage of your PSU? your GPU will require a certain wattage and if your PSU is indeed under powered then that could be your issue as you have already indicated.
