No GPU recognized in custom pc

zedsupport · Dec 28, 2016

I've just built my first pc and everything seems to be running well except for the fact that windows won't recognize the fact that I have a graphics card installed. The only thing that is shown under display adapters in device manager is Microsoft basic display adapter. I would have assumed that the graphics card was DOA or that I somehow made a mistake installing it but the monitor is plugged into the card itself and not the motherboard. How is it possible that video output is running through the card but the card isn't recognized?

What GPU are you using?
you will need to install the drivers for the GPU to be recognized by windows.

You need to install the driver. Until the driver is installed the os will recognize it as basic display adapter.

Go here to get drivers for GPU NVIDIA http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us AMD http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

The card is a gtx 960.

I've downloaded nvidia installer and it won't work because the program can't find the graphics card.

I no longer have the disk that came with the card, how/where do I download the drivers from the internet

Go to the manufacturer's site. If it's an ASUS card go to their site
