Geforce GTX 760 is not recognized by my drivers

[Juan67]

I just started my first build, and everything works fine except for my graphics card (Geforce GTX 760) when I try to download the Driver I get a notification that there is not the necessary hardware being detected.

reseat your gpu in the mobo pcie slot and reseat power connections, is this nvidias site saying this? if not only download driver updates from nvidia.

Just download the latest drivers and install them see what happens.

I have already tried that, and I have downloaded the newest drivers and they gave me the same message

do you have both psu power pins in the 2x 6 pin? did you try using the cd that came with the card? have you tried a different pcie slot? are the fans coming on in the heatsink for the gpu?

I think that I have both psu power pins in, can you tell me what you mean by that? I tried the cd,the fans come on

a gtx 760 takes 2 6pin power supply cables to give it power it needs these 2 cables to power up. they will be right next to each other on the graphics card

There are a total of 14 pin slots on the card

well you have a 6pin and a 8 pin model, so you will need to have a 8 pin power cable and a 6pin power cable to properly supply it enough power to run

Currently, I have two power cables that are 6 pins, but each have a 2 pin offshoot

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

use one with out the 2 pin and with the 2 pin, if you look at the power inputs on the gpu you should see that they are seperated into stacks of 6 and 8 and plug in your cables accordingly

I did that, and the screen is just black when I turn it on

so even if you try the cd it doesnt detect the gpu?

For some reason when I plug my monitor into my motherboard nothing shows up, it was working not 1 day ago

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

do you have another psu you can use in your setup?

 

[Juan67]

do you have another psu you can use in your setup?

no, not one that would have enough wattage

 

[Juan67]

I unplugged the Graphics Card, and turned on the computer, with it plugged into my mother board, I then realized that the graphics card is leeching too much energy from the other components and that my 650 Watt power supply needs to be upgraded

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

a 650 should suffice it may have some blown caps. what is its make/model?

Quality good 650W PSU should be enough for SLI of GTX-760 so i think your PSU is defective or one of the PCI-E X16 slots defective, you should hook up all power cables on your GPU 6pin and 6+2pin and then plug your monitor (DVI, HDMI, D-Sub, Display Port) cable directly to your GPU port!

When I did that all I got was a black screen

your psu is a good build quality but you may have just got a defective one, try it in a different pcie slot to rule out the mother board(if you have one). can you try the card in another system....the only real way to trouble shoot is to either try the card in a differetn setup or try a different psu in your system.

so I tried it in another pcie slot, and the monitor turns on when its connected to the motherboard, but when I try loading the driver with it like that, I get the same response as before

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

is there any way you can test the card in another system or a different psu in your system? it sounds like the card isnt getting power so it cant be detected in your mobo so this would point the fingers in the right place
