i turned the pc on , it works
but the problem its working on the intel grapihcs card

i disabled it from the device manager tab

I don't think it's a driver issue as graphics cards should be detected even before it's drivers are installed (drivers won't install anyway if device isn't already detected by the system).

More likely to be an installation problem:

1) Auxiliary 8-pin power cable not connected to card.

2) Card not located properly in slot.

3) Not configured in BIOS settings (ie BIOS is still set to use integrated graphics).
