Hello Everyone,
First off here's my computer specs:
OS: Windows 7
CPU: i5 6600K
Mobo: Gigabyte GA z170x Gaming 3
RAM: 8gb
PSU: Corsair CXM series CX650m 650w Bronze
(Previous) GPU: Asus Radeon 6450 1gb
(Current) GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 970 4gb SC
So the gist is that I'm planning on buying a new graphics card this Black Friday/Cyber Monday and until then my friend let me borrow his old graphics card, which is the 970. I've been hunting the forum for a solution and have tried many things already.
When I run a dxdiag it isn't in the display tab. In the device manager, with hidden files showing, is doesn't appear under the display adapter. The only things that show in device manager are "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "Intel(R) HD Graphics 530"
I have a screen connected to the card via HDMI and the screen is working fine. It displays everything, even when I browse the internet I can watch streams/videos; however, when I start up a game it won't fully start because it says something along the lines of that there is no graphics cards so it can't run. The fans on the card are spinning, idk if that means anything. Also, I tried seeing how it would run with 8+6 PCI-e power cables vs 6+6. Although, the HDMI screen didn't pick up any signal my other screen did, which is connected to my MoBo via VGA. Idk what exactly any of that means but it seems that the 8+6 route is telling me that the card isn't completely dead but I could be wrong there.
Before when I tried to download drivers it would say that there is no compatible device detected. Geforce Experience also doesn't detect it at all. I'm positive it is installed correctly so I don't believe that's the issue. I have no other computer to test it on as well to see if it is truly a faulty card.
Things I've tried:
Updated Bios to latest version
Tested all PCI-e slots on MoBo
Tried to provide as much info as I could. Please if anyone can shed some light on my problem it would be greatly appreciated.
