I had an Alienware X51 (R1) and I just gotten a new case, power supply, and graphics card (NVIDIA 970) and I just moved everything into that case. I believe I inserted the graphics card correctly. It definitely has power and I think it is correctly in the PCI slot. When I try to install the driver, it says it cannot find the card. It also isn't listed in Device Manager. The card was sent to me by a friend who has the same motherboard as me so there shouldn't be a problem there. In the BIOS, I changed the primary display to discrete. My monitor is plugged into my motherboard currently because nothing displays if I plug it into my graphics card. If you need any more info, let me know. Any help would be appreciated.
