GTX 560 Ti working, No display

[RishabhJani]

I recently bought a 560TI and connected it using 6-pin connectors onto my mobo's PCI-E slot. But It doesn't show up on the device manager.

I tried uninstalling my graphics drivers but now it says "driver couldn't find compatible hardware."

I have tried setting my BIOS settings for the GPU from Auto to PCI-E (PEG) to PCI-E; but nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: FYI, My monitor shows "No VGA connected" when I remove connector; but goes to "Power Save Mode" (black screen) when I connect the GPU.

Specs:
PSU: Corsair VS550 550W
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93 GHz
Mobo: Intel DG41RQ
Monitor: Dell S2216H
Connectors used: VGA to VGA with a DVI-I connector.
RAM: 4GB RAM

How do you know it actually works? Where did you purchase it from? Do you have another system that is powerful enough to try the card in?

Did you connect your monitor cable to your motherboard or the graphics card? In order to use an external graphics card you must have the monitor plugged into the graphics card.

Its a second hand card. One of my friends gave it to me, since he was buying a 970.

And yes I connected the card to the monitor, and after entering the BIOS, I picked the PCIE card option, yet it still goes to onboard.

Gave it to a technician. Seeing if it works.
