[SOLVED] GPU not appearing on device manager eventhough inserted

[shiftup800]

I connected a Nvidia Gt710 pcie 16x 2.0 to my pcie x16 3.0 motherboard

once I boot up, device manager says I'm using Microsoft basic display driver and there's no driver for my gt710

I tried installing driver from the nvidia website but it says no hardware was found?

Try reseat card, it may not be in properly. Can you get a display during post / bios screen using the card's video port?

I've reseated several times, to no results.

There's not really much else to it, most likely faulty card.

If your monitor is connected to the GPU, then the basic VGA driver is driving the GPU, which means the GPU does have data and power connections along with the core functionality required for basic VGA output.

If drivers won't recognize the card and the card isn't showing up in DM, it could be a corrupt device ID - still registers as a display device that generic VGA drivers can handle but fails to provide the remainder of ID required for device-specific drivers.

Do you mind me asking where you got the GPU?
