    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    I'm certain that it is something to do with the Windows or nVidia settings as the fuzziness only starts at the login screen. Everything before that is crystal clear. I've got it slightly better so just need to find the sweet setup. Seems to be a bit of common thing with certain nVidia cards...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    Well I have managed to resolve the original issue. I've got a new motherboard - this time a Gigabyte one and I'm running from the graphics card now. However, I've now got an overall fuzzy appearance to the display. Not massively, but enough to be giving me a bit of a sore head after only 10...

    Death of a PCI express 3.0 slot

    Funnily enough I've been having the exact same problem. It's a massive hassle but the board is going to be getting sent back. I could probably live with the integrated graphics as I don't do much gpu intensive stuff, but that's not the point. When spending money on something I'd hope it is...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    Just a quick update. I've borrowed another card to try and am having the exact same issues. Looks like there is probably an issue with the board. However, this time it is a card which needs no extra power from the psu, just what it gets from the motherboard and the fan is spinning up fine...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    I'll spend some time with it all out the case. Turns out the unknown device is to do with "Smart Connect", no idea why I'd need that but it's irrelevant at the moment anyway. I'd already updated the BIOS before doing much else just so that I was starting as up to date as possible. I'll...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    There's an unknown device showing in the device manager yeah, the only device shown under display adapters is the integrated graphics. The manual has been useless with all of this. Both 6 pin connectors are connected properly, using the PSU from the previous build. I've tried to install the...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    I'll need to put together some of my old bits to see if the card is still working with those. Power cables are both fully in, card is firmly attached on the motherboard side. I'm using the same cable to try both so that rules out the cable. Everything seems to be right which is why I'm...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    That makes sense thanks. PEG was already set and turning on IGD Multi-Monitor hasn't made any difference. I think I'll need to try another graphics card in the slot. Starting to think it might be an issue with the PCI-e slot.

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    I definitely have those options so I'll try that. Silly question before I do, if I make those changes and the graphics card still isn't putting anything out, will the motherboard's VGA outputs still work in the BIOS for me to revert the changes? Don't want to end up with no way of seeing what's...

    Graphics Card Not Recognised

    Hi everyone, long time lurker finally having to ask for some help with a problem! I've recently upgraded my system with a new processor, motherboard and RAM to something a bit more up to date. Everything is running exactly as expected, apart from the fact I cannot get my graphics card to...
