New Graphic card problem.

[legendz9608]

Hello guys, So i built a new PC without a gpu then i purchased a new graphics card GTX 760 MSI twin frozr, The computer works fine without the new GPU and the motherboard post screen shows up and intel graphics 4600 works with the performance expected from it. However after i installed the new GPU the PC does not show the Motherboard post screen and it boots to windows directly. and when i installed the newest drivers from Nvidia the installation is normal, however games perform really poor, it even performed worse than my Intel hd 4600 on lowest settings, I tried going to nvidia control panel but it does not give me access. If anybody could tell me what's going on it would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

if I'm not mistaken, the 760 reqires extra power from the power supply, did you plug in the appropriate cord from the power supply?

Yes I plugged in the PSU PCIE cord and plugged in both slots in the graphic card itself. My PSU is a 650w corsair psu.

You need to check, re-check and double check everything, something went wrong, either with driver installation, DirectX, or mounting of the card itself.

Did you remove the intel integrated GPU driver? Did you physically disable the 4600? Did you use a driver cleaner?

I'm sorry but i'm still new to building PC's but do i have to uninstall the Intel HD driver before i install the Nvidia drivers?

I rechecked everything including the mounting and the Direct X and i even reinstalled the newest driver 3 times. and the situatuion stayed the same.

But did you remove the intel driver and disabled the card?

No i actually didn't, can you please tell me on how to do it? is it by uninstalling the driver through control panel or through the BIOS? i'm not sure how since i'm new to building PC's. Thanks again =)

Both, first you need to disable it in BIOS menu because it eats away at your memory if not for some other reason, then you also need to uninstall the driver and use a driver cleaner.

I did that and then i restarted the PC and there was no video output and i couldn't turn on my PC, therefore i took the CMOS battery out to reset the bios setting and i'm back to where i started. any idea?

Did you plug the monitor into the graphics card slot? Its not supposed to be on the mobo slot anymore.

No, the graphics card has a DVI and a HDMI port, and my monitor is an old lcd monitor that utilizes Vga therefore i plugged it in to the vga port in the motherboard.my motherboard is GIGABYTE Z87-HD3

Well then there's your problem, you need to plug it in below. You can purchase and adaptor to make it fit into your graphics card.
This is how it looks like:

what were you thinking in the first place? that you don't need to plug in the monitor where your graphics card is? hehehe silly boy...

Buy that, plug it in the graphics card, disable intel HD device in BIOS and your problem is solved!
