Nvidia Graphics card isnt being recognized, intel graphics is being used instead

[jango233]

Hi guys,

I have a alienware x51 (i know lol)

I have a nvidia geforce gtx 555

The problem: It is not being detected, so it boots into the intel graphics card instead.

Also please note:
- I cannot go into nvidia control panel
- I tried to set up nvidia drivers again, and it didn't detect my driver either
- My Bios is updated
- This happened before, and so i updated bios and it worked, but now its showing the same prob again
- all drivers are up to date

PICTURES ON PC PICS AND PROBLEM PLEASE SEE:

Make sure the gpu is seated correctly, I had a gpu which was not being recognised in the bios. I opened up the case and all looked ok, i pushed on the gpu to make sure it was in. Booted up and all sorted.

Make sure your monitor is connected TO GPU, not motherboard

just seen you pictures, have you selected the pci e in bios and not on board graphics.
