Removed GPU, put back in, Pc not picking up GPU now..

[Rick Grimes]

I removed my GPU (Palit 550TI) from my computer to so I could have more room in my case to add another HDD to my pc, i left the HDD unplugged as I wasn't going to use it just yet, just wanted it in my case, then put my graphics card back in, literally about 5 minutes later, plugged it in properly and connected the 6 PIN correctly and I booted up, black screen, so I changed from my graphics card VGA to my motherboard VGA to see what was happening and my computer loaded up normally, I checked device manager to see my graphics card wasn't listed under display adapters.

So I went to google and found this, nVidia graphic card does not show up in device manager, unable to - Microsoft Community

I did "method 2" and found my graphics card there but it was unhighlited and i couldn't click on it. So I turned my pc off and made sure graphics card was plugged in correctly, restarted, nothing, went to device manager, graphics card still not there..


I am un sure what to do next, also the fan is spinning on the card so it is receving power I assume, any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
The proper or the way I do it anyway,
Is after unplugging the computer from a power source is hold down the power button for 60 seconds to discharge any left other power from the mother board...

Then make sure your grounded so no static electricity happens when you touch the device,
Then remove the card always having touched the case as you work on removing or re-installing the device.

How old is the machine in question ?

Hi, I have tried removing and plugging it back in the correct way, and sadly still doesn't pick it up, also the machine will be 3 years old in 2 months, it was working perfectly last night and before I screwed in the other hard drive and now it's not picking it up at all.

• Remove the GPU and boot up.
• Download DDU and follow http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/367109-display-driver-uninstaller-how-use.html to remove all traces of your current driver.
• Power down and reinstall the GPU.
• Boot and see if the GPU is detected by Windows.

Hi, yes I was very careful every time I did something with my computer, and did it correctly every time, and no there wasn't any sparks.

This didn't work, GPU still not detected.

This is still only what I get in display adapters. Gyazo - c84efda5e33cca3b4a3b38b4037b53dc.png

Still not working, I tried re setting BIOS and nothing.

Do you have another PCI-e slot you can try?
