[SOLVED] Cant install Nvidia drivers with my HP Envy 750-137

[rakuology]

I decided to upgrade my GPU a few days ago. I also upgraded my PSU for this GPU.

My GPU: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GAMING-Support-06G-P4-6161-KR/dp/B01IPVSGEC/ref=asc_df_B01IPVSGE...

I tried everything I could find. I unistalled the intergrated GPU, did a clean sweep of all previous and current drivers. PCIEx16 is enabled, disabled firewalls and anti-malware, The device manager doesnt detect it but a "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" appears. i tried reinstalling that, and it recoginzes my gpu, but there still is a problem. Fans work as well.

My Specs: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04850072

Any help or suggestions is appreciated. This is giving me a huge headache.

Hmm, relatively new system. Can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

What PSU?

If you have more than one PCIe power cable, try the other ones. If possible skip the adapter it is not necessary if you have a 6+2 pin connector already.

It is possible it is a dead on arrival, so Amazon will probably exchange it if that is where you got it. Or EVGA can send you an RMA.

And if the GPU is in fact dead, any reccomendations? Same price range as the one I bought.

Hmm, not the best power supply but it should be adequate.

Nothing wrong with the video card you chose, they just sometimes don't arrive working. Some factory defect working itself loose during shipping or mis-handling during installation (ie static shock) Though that is less common these days, they do a decent job of protecting circuit boards these days.

If you have another system to test with, give that a try. Otherwise go ahead and start the return or RMA process. If you bought it used, than any other GTX1060 6GB is a fine replacement. I doubt you would want to push for a RTX2060 as they have priced that more competitively with the GTX1070.

go to bios, and make sure either the GPU choice or PCIE is set or change it to Auto by default it would look at the one on the main board, also make sure you set GPUI to not use multiple
