new gpu undetected!

[Fireger]

Hey guys
Finally got to making my system, and have managed to boot into windows
However, for the life of me, I can't get the bios to detect my graphics card, I've updated bios. And can't update the drivers because NVIDIA says "there is no capatable hardware detected

System specs:
Mobo - Asus z97-K
Gpu - MSI 1080 seahawk x
CPU - I7 4790K
Ram - 32gb corsair vengeance
Thanks in advance!

Did you boot into Windows with the display connected to the GPU or the Integrated graphics on your CPU trough the motherboard? Do the GPU fans spin up?

I booted through integrated graphics, tried through gpu and was left with no signal detected

This is water cooled, no fans on it sadly

Yeah, sad to say it, but it might be dead from the store. I was installing a GPU for a friend a few moths ago and I had similar issues, the PC wouldn't detect the GPU at all, we sent it back and it turns out it was dead out of the box. Might be that.
