I am trying this as we speak thank you for the help. I will Update when it finishes.


EDIT:Could not uninstal drivers as nothing was there ...tried doing rest of prcedure and that did not work.

 

[Boozad]

Is the card showing in Device Manager at all?

 

[dhales9]

No it is not. The fans on the graphics card are running though.

 

[Boozad]

Stupid question but needs to be asked, have you connected the power cable from the PSU to the card?

 

[dhales9]

yes

 

[Boozad]

In that case boot into BIOS and see if it's showing up there. If not, remove the card and reseat it then reboot and see if Windows detects it.

Also, what size PSU do you have?

Use driverview,an excellent Nir Sofer tool, which will list all the drivers installed,manufacturer,location etc. and then decide which to remove and replace.It is perhaps better to stay with the drivers Win7 jnstalls and ignore update advice from Nvidea.

You need the Nvidia drivers in my opinion for better performance. Please use this link to fill in more detailed info on your specs.

Answering the question on post number 8 on your PSU is important so we can try and help you.

Re: Nvidia driver install

This may be relevant, if not I apologize profusely. I had this exact issue, different hardware. Worked with this issue for days, reading everything I could find. In the end I uninstalled the driver. But I used a third party uninstaller, one that removed all traces. Went through and deleted everything Nvidia. Ran the installer again and chose clean install and it installed just fine. When using the "stock" uninstallers there are a lot of registry entries left over. I can only assume that there was something left that interfered with the install.
