Graphics Card Help

[curtur]

So I just built my new cpu and everything works except when I try to play games. It says that it doesn't recognize a video card. So i did the run dxdiag and when I go to display it doesn't show my graphics card, it just says standard video card. I checked the compatibility of all my parts and they were compatible so now I'm stumped. Is my graphics card dead or defected or something else?

Is it fully seated? What GPU is it? Are the PCI-E cords plugged in? Are the latest drivers installed?

Yes
Gefore GTX 750 ti
I believe so
I treid to install the drivers for nvidia graphics cards but it says i need to install other drivers so no i dont have the drivers installed

go to ur bios and check for display settings...ur display should be enabled to pcie instead of integrated gpu...

If Hellfire13's suggestion doesn't work I would try following this guide, if it does work i'd suggest following this guide anyway as it's always good practice to install new drivers only after you've completely removed old ones : http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2767677/clean-graphics-driver-install-windows.html Also what do you mean you "believe so" on if the PCI-E power is plugged in? 😛

I wrote my response late a night so I was too lazy to check if it was but now I checked and the PCI-E cord is plugged into it

I see, did any of the solutions work?

 

[curtur]

I tried all of the solutions above and none worked 🙁
When I tried the clean uninstall method I got to the installing new drivers part and the nvidia driver installer said I had a bunch of drivers nor installed. When I saw this I decided to check my device manager and It turns out that its blank! So maybe that has to do with something?

What's your mobo and bios version?

 

[curtur]

Bios version: 04.06.05
mobo: fm2a88x extreme4+ r

 

[Minky7]

Bios version: 04.06.05
mobo: fm2a88x extreme4+ r

After a search for that motherboard I found this thread which seems to address your problem : http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1761273/motherboard-detecting-graphics-card.html you'll of course want to get your drivers from nvidia.
