I helped my friend install his new graphics card. His Computer is a WIndows 7 HP and for some reason I couldn't find a graphics card of some sort within his computer; he was able to run games (Strange). The graphics card I installed is a PNY Geforce GTX 750. His computer is not detecting it and it's not able to run or open any games!

Even the installation disk didn't auto-run nor did the downloaded drivers from nvidia.com didn't install because it said "missing required files".

Please Help!

What mobo (motherboard) is he using? Do you know? Did you attempt to install the drivers for the GPU, or did it just not work or not let you? I wouldn't recommend using the disk as it is usually outdated drivers. What said "missing required files"?

His PC was probably able to run games before because either his motherboard had integrated graphics or his CPU had built-in graphics.
