GTX 970 Undetected by Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hello, I've been having problems with my GTX Twin Frozr (MSI) 970. This problem makes the GPU completely undetectable by windows. Or any driver that I try to install.

The errors that have came up whilst trying to install ANY version of the Nvidia graphics driver are:
This NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows.
This graphics driver could not find any compatible graphics hardware.
There is no compatible graphics hardware on this machine.

Here is a link to some of the errors: http://imgur.com/q0z8qfO

These errors alternate between installation attempts, and ALWAYS happen at the "System Check" procedure of installation.

I have recently downgraded from windows 8, to windows 7. As I wanted a change from a buggy OS (my windows 8 has always had problems and bugs) so I reverted back to windows 7 home premium. Everything can be installed normally, all of the windows updates are installed and all is well, except for my GPU drivers and hardware.

My internal graphics works fine, and I've tried different PCI-E slots on my motherboard, and I get the same result.

Could my GPU be defective? Or is there some other issue?

A reply and some help would be really great!

Thanks,

Tsi

Check the device manager, is your GPU listed there? I should have a yellow warning sign aside.

There is no card listen there at all, only the internal graphics from my CPU.

There isn't any device with a yellow exclamation sign aside?

Nope, only my internal graphics is listed there.
