Hey, I'm a little new to pc's and I bought a new graphics card a Nvidia Geforce GT 730 to upgrade from my AMD Radeon HD 7540D intergrated graphics. I plug it in to the slot and booted my pc up. I tried to download the drivers for the new card but failed due to not being able to identify the card. It's not listed on the display adapters tab and I tried disabling my intergrated graphics and installing the driver but it failed because i get this error screen that the computer cant detect the new graphics card for the driver. Im using windows 7 32-bit, Processor: AMD A6-5400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (2 CPUs), ~3.6GHz, using a inland silver series 500 watt psu, and idk my specs on the motherboard. ANY ANSWERS OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

perhaps it needs to be set as a primary graphics? should be somwhere in 'advanced' > 'video/graphics' > 'primary video adapter' should be set to PCIE/PEG something like that

Sorry but I have no idea how to do that. Can you explain it to a noobie like me? Also the fan on the graphics card is running so idk if that means the motherboard is compatible, if the psu has enough power, etc
