Question Swapping card issue

[Sharethepain]

Hello everyone,

I´ve just swapped my GTX 650 for a newer graphics card, but since I´ve never done this before something’s kinda gone wrong.

After booting up first time it installed drivers, but it installed drivers for my old graphics card for some reason, and after rebooting, it says I still have the old one installed, and for some reason I´ve lost 16GB of ram from 32 GB. What did I do wrong, and how to fix it?

For the GPU, always use DDU to uninstall the old drivers before swapping, especially swapping GPU brands (AMD to Nvidia, etc...)

I´ve dealt with the card stuff but I still lack 16 GB of Ram, I´ve reseated the ram and rebooted but its still gone.

how are you installing your RAM? Also test the RAM in another system if you can
