Set-up: Fatal1ty p67 mobo, Geforce GTX 470, corsair HX1000w psu, windows 7
Switched my new pc on for the first time last night and thought everything was going to well, i have a Geforce GTX 470 which i just cannot get to run, it is not showing up in the list devices, when i put the driver cd in it keeps crashing about half way through installation, comes up with an error and to says to contact nvidia, will my gpu not show until the drivers are installed and any suggestions about the driver problem? i have tried moving the card and i also have highlighted in the bios set-up that my primary graphics adapter is = PCI Express, is this correct and should i have anything else enabled/disabled? It is in the slot and powered up as the fans are going round.
Next is a problem connecting to the internet, attempted everything, i have an ethernet cable connected from the pc into my router but my pc just fails to acknowledge it, could i possible not have all my ports enabled or something? again is there a setting in the bios that i should be ticking or enabling?
I have installed all the drivers for the mobo so really unsure as to what is going on here.
Any suggestions/help much appreciated, just about to return my graphics card unless you guys have any ideas...
