Ok...so i shut down my pc yesterday and today the gpu doesn't work.
I can't update drivers and in device manager i can only see intel hd graphics.I also tried that command prompt thing to show hidden devices but it didn't work.
I'm not sure if the gpu is out of place and i am afraid if i set in bios the pci-e slot as primary without any gpu actually being in it i'd mess something up.
Specs:
Win10
4gb ram
Intel core i3
Geforce gtx 750ti
Help please?

That could be the case. Make sure your GPU is firmly seated in the motherboard.
Just loosen the screw holding it and give it a bit of a push down to see if it will go into place.

Its very unlikely that will mess anything up. If the pc does not see the card, it will use the onboard instead.
If it does see the card, you should get a display on it.

The thing is that if i have my monitor connected to the gpu it won't even show the screen with "press f2 to enter bios settings".
