    "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU"...


    I just bought a new C.P.U yesterday for gaming.This is an essembled PC that i got.It's specs are briefly as follows ,

    I7 Processor
    16 GB RAM
    Nvidia GTX 960 2GB Graphics Card

    When the shop guy showed me the system and asked me to checked the system by using Windows 8.1 after the essembling was done,everything looked fine...

    When i brought home the system.Attached it to my 32 INCH Led T.V through HDMI.After the Windows 8.1 Start up,i right clicked on the desktop to check out " Nvidia Control Panel " & i recieved this message,

    "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU"

    However,under the " Display Adapters " dorp down list in " Device Manager " , i can see my two graphics cards, i.e 1:Intel (R) HD Graphics 4600 & 2:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

    What do i do ?

    I take it you have a Desktop Computer ? ... Normally when using a Graphics Card when one is plugged in to the Motherboard it would disable the On-board Graphics which in your case is the Intel HD ...You should be able to Disable it through the BIOS ..

    An Alternative way around this is to connect your GPU by VGA or DVI to your Monitor

    OMG

    Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH.Reading your comment,i thought about giving a second look behind my C.P.U's system.I noticed,there was a second hdmi slot located just at the base of the system (Which might be the Graphics card slot or similar,i am not much knowledgable about this).

    Soon after plugging in my hdmi's wire in that slot,i finally was able to use my Nvidia Control Panel :)

    I am so glad.Thank you ...
