Graphics card undetected by computer

[alljokesdenied]

My PC specs:
Pentium G4560 cpu
Asrock H110M-HDS motherboard
Geforce GTX 1050 graphics card
EVGA 430W power supply
Seagate 1TB BarraCuda hdd


I've been having problems getting my PC to detect my GTX 1050. Nvidia won't let me install the drivers for it, my device manager doesn't show it and I don't have any hidden devices with yellow marks beside them. I've tried several solutions with no results. The PC is a new build, no previous graphics card drivers existed (I tried an uninstalling program anyway.) if anyone has any advice on this I'd appreciate it greatly, and if more information is needed please ask. Thanks in advance.

You did plug your monitor into the graphics card and not the motherboard video out correct?

I looked up your mobo and since you only have 1 Pcie16 slot it it would be hard to tell if its a bad mobo or gpu

My monitor black screens if I try to run from the gpu, so I've been running from the mobo. I've reseated the card a couple times with no results also. I'm waiting to find more solutions before I just assume faulty hardware also, but thanks.

got a friend or family member with an operational rig that you can plug the gpu into to start the process or elimination?
