Hi, PC spec is below, all components are only weeks old.
I updated my motherboard BIOS from F4 to the latest F20 because I was having some random crash issues. Now the GPU isn't showing up in device manager and the computer is running on Intel integrated graphics instead.
It took my a while to figure out what was going on because the PC was running but the screen was blank - I had to move the monitor to the VGA on the MB rather than the HDMI on the graphics card.
I have played around with the BIOS settings (which are consfusing) and I have not got it working. The GPU lights up and the fan is running so clearly it has power.
Resetting the CMOS has not helped.
Any thoughts....?

edit:
I fixed this problem by
1) physically removing the graphics card,
2) restarting the computer (obviously put the case back on first)
3) logging on to windows
4) shutting down the computer,
5) reinstalling the graphics card
6) restarting the computer - the GPU was working immediately albeit in the wrong screen resolution.
7) I then had to re-install all the correct drivers from windows by downloading from the Nvida Geforce website.
I don't know why this worked because the GPU was already properly physically installed but somehow it seems to have made the updated BIOS recognise it again.
So if your GPU isn't being detected by device manager or is just displaying a black screen after you have flashed your Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS, perhaps from F4 to F20, this might be worth a try.
