I’ve just finished building my first pc and after updating the BIOS and installing windows, I started installing drivers. I ran into a problem when Nvidia wouldn’t allow me to install the drivers for a gpu that I “didn’t have”. The Device Manager only shows the onboard graphics on my motherboard and I can only get output on the monitor when the display port is plugged into the MOBO. Plugging into the GPU port gives me no input. I’ve checked the PSU cables and everything is correctly plugged in. I even get LED and fan movement on the GPU. I’ve tried reseating the gpu, disabling integrated graphics in bios, I’ve been searching through forum posts for days to no avail. Please help!
