I've been having difficulty with graphics cards recently. I had a power supply fail a couple of weeks ago and when the new PSU arrived I found my graphics card wasn't showing up in device manager.
I figured the PSU took the card down with it so I went out and bought a new card. It's not showing up either. Now I'm wondering if it might be a dodgy PSU or MOBO? I'm stumped because the PSU is brand new and otherwise seems fine. The MOBO has 3 16-pin PCI slots and I've tried all three to no avail.
I'm not sure if the card is recognised in BIOS. No reference to the specific hardware but PCI is an option in the default graphics setting.
I've already tried:
1. Reading the troubleshooting guides on this forum
2. Resetting the BIOS
3. Minimal setup: PSU, MOBO, 1 RAM stick, GPU
4. Clean install of windows 10
5. Switching the BIOS to PCI graphics first
6. Uninstalling the onboard graphics drivers
7. Installing the NVIDIA drivers while using the onboard graphics - (unable to install as the hardware is not detected)
I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
New Card: MSI GEFORCE GTX1060 3GB
Old Card: HD Radeon 6870
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-z77x-3dh
