Can't find pci-express settings in bios

[lucaking313]

Hey,

I recently got a new graphics card to upgrade from my intel hd graphics. The problem that I'm
running into is that I can't seem to enable my pci-express slot in my bios because I can't find it. I've looked everywhere in the bios but they are nowhere to be seen. And yes I have a pci-express slot.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi, the BIOS would automatically detect the card. Have you connected the monitor to it?

PCIe slots are always enabled and cannot be disabled, so you won't find that sort of option available in any BIOS / UEFI.

The only option you might find would be which graphics device to use during boot, such as on-board, integrated, or add-in board, which can be useful if you have a need for non-standard behavior.

I have already tried to connect the monitor to my card but my monitor doesn't detect my card

What motherboard, graphics card and video cable using?

Make sure that all power connections on the card are properly connected to the power supply.

I don't think that is the problem, I think my computer is set to IGP->PCI->PCIE but I want to change it to PCIE->PCI->IGP, but because mine is set to the first option it detects the integrated graphics first then goes no further, if I set it to the second option it will detect my PCIE slot then go no further and I need to do that in the bios but I can't find that option. The card is a gigabyte gtx 1050 so it does not need a 6 pin connector, it gets it's power through the PCIE slot.
