GTX750ti CPU drivers not installing.

[daddymckee]

I've recently switched from an integrated CPU (AMD radeon HD 7660d) to the Geforce GTX750ti.
I installed the graphics card correctly, (Recognized by MSI bios and the green light is on, indicating it's getting enough power) Then removed all AMD drivers.
When I rebooted and attempted to download the Nvidia drivers on the disc provided, it stated that I needed to install VGA cards for ASUS.
When I plugged the monitor into the graphics card, it showed that it had no signal.
I then went online and tried to install the drivers manually, only for it to not recognize any hardware.
I then went into the BIOS and messed around with the integrated CPU options. To no avail.
Any help would be apreciated, if this doesn't work then it'll be a big waste of money. :/
Specs:
Windows 10
MSI (MS-7721)
Processor : AMD A 10 5800K With Radeon(tm) HD graphics (4 CPUS) ~3.8GHz
Ram: 4096 mb
EDIT**
Turns out alot of other people are having this problem with GTX 750ti, and it might have something to do with windows 10.

Custom build, the specs are in the original paragraph

Did you disable secure boot?

You might need to.

Try clearing the CMOS first. If this doesn't help, update your BIOS. Make sure the graphics card is set to be the primary display device.

You might need to.

how would I do that?

What the others say.

My contribution: No idea. Incoming waffle...

(1) The 750ti worked before you removed AMD drivers. This seems to be the case at the beginning of your post. Have you tried to boot in safe mode? The thought is by forcing Windows to boot with minimal drivers it may allow the GPU to demonstrate the issue is not with the GPU as such.

(2) Installing drivers from disc. With the speed of technology it may have been better to either allow the system to auto update or go to the manufacturers website for latest drivers. I would assume your 750ti is made by ASUS given what you wrote.

(3) You went online to manually install drivers. You seem to have gone back to using the APU and its integrated graphics capability? But here you mention there is no hardware recognised. Does this mean in device manager there is no GPU or only a generic GPU named? No GPU suggests you may need to reinstall the GPU. Generic GPU suggests it doesn't have the drivers.

(4) You messed around in the BIOS with the integrated graphics options. What precisely were you trying to achieve? Perhaps reverting to default BIOS options may be an option if possible to start again.

accidentally clicked best solution, silly me. Well, it was the most helpful so far.
1) The 750ti didn't work before or after I removed the AMD drivers.
2) The disc isn't the problem, as it's only there to install drivers.
3) It shows the generic windows gpu, suggesting that it's installed, but drivers aren't working.
4) In the bios I was just making sure that the integrated GPU wasn't overriding the 750ti.

If you ask the mods, they can always remove the solution choice.

In a sense I suspect it would be best to be able to start from scratch as it were. Use device manager to uninstall the GPU (if indeed it really is the separate GPU rather than the integrated GPU). And then try to install again.

I'll throw in this anecdote as well. When I tried to install new drivers for my 750ti (I have an x4 760k), it always refused to install manually or even through nVidia's GeForce Experience. Now, I don't know if Steam does this any more, but there was an option for Steam to update drivers for you. And it was Steam which installed the newest set of drivers for me. I haven't had problems with using GeForce Experience to update drivers since. Might be worth a try.

EDIT: clarity.

EDIT 2: Steam still has the 'update video drivers' option.

EDIT 3: technically "Check for Video Drivers Updates..." under the "Steam" tab.

I attempted to do what you said on steam, but only to be told that they knew the drivers were outdated, but couldn't recognize the graphics card.
By the way, am I supposed to install the drivers with the Graphics card plugged into the monitor? Because the monitor receives no signal when it's plugged in, so i've been installing the drivers while the monitor was still plugged into the mother board.

Shame about Steam. I suppose it needs to recognise the GPU first.

For driver installation I would think 'yes'. The hardware needs to be physically present for the software to have full effect.

I've read elsewhere that when installing a GPU the integrated graphics of an APU should be automatically disabled. Though this may depend on whether the GPU is AMD or nVidia. As mentioned above, you may need to enter BIOS to manually select the output for video signal. Even with just normal Windows drivers the GPU should display, though you won't have all the features until the drives are installed.

Reading back your original post though, the mentions that the GPU isn't recognised and even the no hardware incident has me wondering about the GPU itself. At this point, I think we'd need to verify whether the GPU is actually working. I'd also assume your PSU can provide enough power, though this may be something to verify too to eliminate that as a possible issue.

Have you tried installing the GPU, connecting monitor to it and then booted into safe mode? Again, it's to check whether the GPU actually does work. If it does, then we can continue trying to find a solution to the driver issue.
