Gpu's HDMI Port not working

[adencklein]

I own a NVIDIA GeForce 1050 Graphics Card, and up till recently the HDMI port has stopped working. I don't know what to do. What cable should I use now?
I am stuck with the most god-awful graphics card: Intel "HD' Graphics 3000.

(it cant even run minecraft at 60 fps)

Try updating your drivers for the GPU.

Try updating your drivers for the GPU.

I tried, but NVIDIA said:
"Could not find compatible graphics hardware:

Ok this is a textbook issue with newer drivers. The fix is to roll back your drivers to an older version and you’ll have to do it manually. This is one way to do it: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/how-to-rollback-nvidia-drivers-in-windows-10/

My NVIDIA Driver does not even show up in device manager!
(it used to, though)

Try a BIOS update

Ah. Do I have to buy something to update my BIOS? That is what the internet says.

 

[Jwpanz]

No you absolutely do not have to buy it. A BIOS update is available through your motherboard’s manufacturer. You should be able to google the model of your motherboard and navigate to the support section for your motherboard. If you would like, just tell me what your motherboard is and I will provide a link for you to follow.

My GIGABYTE Motherboard model is Z68X-UD3H-B3

Go here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3-rev-10#support-dl

Locate the downloads section and look for BIOS. Download the latest BIOS file to a USB stick. Reboot your PC with that USB stick inserted. Enter the BIOS and update it using Q-Flash. You can follow this tutorial here (it’s not difficult or a long process at all): https://youtu.be/ze4Dg11W3hU

I just updated. What now?

 

[Jwpanz]

Boot your PC and enter device manager. Locate your GPU and attempt to update the driver.

 

[adencklein]

I cannot find my GPU. I don't know if it has been uninstalled or something...

 

[adencklein]

Also, keep in mind, I have yet to plug in my HDMI to the GPU yet, the motherboard's GPU probably thinks there is no other GPU

 

[adencklein]

Now, I plugged the HDMI cable into the GPU's port, and still nothing!

 

[Jwpanz]

Do you have another HDMI cord? It could be a bad cord.

Already tried it.
Still nothing.

 

[adencklein]

Hello, you there?

 

[Jwpanz]

Plug your monitor into the GPU again and attempt to boot. Perhaps Windows need to detect it again.

 

[adencklein]

Ok. I plugged in the HDMI cord into the GPU's port. And the monitor remains blank. BUT, I went and downloaded the splashtop app on my tablet. The splashtop app detects the screen and shows me, so I go to the display settings and it says "Display from VGA" and I do not have a VGA cable! I do not know what to do... hopefully this ends soon...

 

[Jwpanz]

You shouldn’t have to use VGA if you have HDMI. Do you have a TV or some other display to try your PC with? It could be the monitor.

 

[adencklein]

I could try that...

 

[adencklein]

Ugh. Still nothing

Hi. Just open device manager . Show hidden resources. Uninstall all display adapter. Shut down comp. Take out graphic card. Reset bios and restart comp. Install Intel or AMD driver for integrated graphic then shut down comp. Insert your graphic card and turn on comp. Reinstall nvidia or amd driver.
