Hi this is my first PC build so I picked a Gigabyte H110M-A for the motherboard, I installed everything, at the time I had a GT 710 running and when I had it plugged in there was no display, but the onboard graphics from the motherboard would display. I tried updating the drivers and all but still nothing, it didn't even show up in device manager. So I bought a GT 1030 and the same issue, I tried uninstalling all drivers, resetting bios, etc. I'm just at the point of giving up all together please help
 
Solution
If you have an EUFI motherboard, and a Legacy BIOS on your GPU ( almost always on low end cards) then you need to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS. Also there might be a CSM, or Legacy Mode option to turn on. If you have a Legacy BIOS MB and an EUFI card they won't work (1030?).
Are you using Safe Mode (F8) to remove/Install drivers? If you get the BIOS sorted out any GPU should run in Safe Mode.
