The hardware is as follows

LGA 775 (OptiPlex 755) Mobo
Q6600
1050
6gb ram
305w psu
2 HDD's

Gpu shows up in BIOS as VGA Multimedia: Nominal
GPU shows no where in device manager, OHM, task manager, msi afterburner

Disclaimer: I have just installed a fresh install of windows on account of some blue screens and a failing HDD. I don't suspect this would cause problems with the GPU. Just trying to see if anyone has any ideas. Trust me, my next investment is a B250 mobo and a new GPU/CPU, tax season is coming baby!

turns out that windows 10 from 2015 doesn't support nvidia drivers and I needed to update it, or at least thats what I'm hoping is the issue.

Edit: Nope, I was wrong.
