Graphics card is not being detected

Hey guys, after 3 weeks break i come back to my computer to play some tf2, but it won't recognize my graphics card (GTX 670). I have tried updating the drivers but this resulted in the message that the drivers arent compatible with anything in my build. The graphics card fan is spinning and the light is working, so i don't think it's the reason. So far i have tried resetting my bios, but that didn't help either.

My monitor is set to D-Sub automatically when the computer boots, and when i try to switch it to DVI, it goes back to D-Sub and says there isn't anything connected on the DVI. I would love to know what causes this, any help is appreciated. Maybe @Setsul could help with this?

I was thinking, is it my graphics card that is faulty? or the DVI port? or is it a faulty DVI-D cable.

Did you try to remove the GPU and put it back in? I know this may sound stupid but it worked for me twice :x

Try completely uninstalling the GPU Driver using the DDU software performing a clean install. It removes it all (including registry entries), has a safe mode and works like a charm: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

If it doesn't work, try rolling back to an older driver and see if it works. Recently found out that, for reasons unknown, my PC won't recognize any driver past august 2014. :(

is your graphics card being detected in your bios or device manager?

WiggerslamIf it doesn't work, try rolling back to an older driver and see if it works. Recently found out that, for reasons unknown, my PC won't recognize any driver past august 2014. :(

I thought about doing this, but im not sure whether it's a hardware problem or software problem at this point. I did roll back the drivers 2 days (before the problem occurred) so i might exclude this option unfortunately.

FireIf the graphics card is not listed in your device manager (which is pretty likely since the driver didnt detect it) its definitely the card / pcie slot or you might have set your onboard graphics as primary in the BIOS.

It doesn't show up in the device manager (because the driver isnt detecting it yeah). How do i change my primary graphics in the BIOS, you mean set it to PCI-E? Because it's on auto now, and when i try to change it, it doesn't seem to work. It just goes back to auto.

FireTry another pcie slot if you have any, try out if other pcie cards work with your mobo or if the graphics card works in another PC.

OK will try that.

I am not sure how you see it in the BIOS but it isn't being detected in device manager. Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 is the only thing i can see under the device manager. But when i click "show hidden devices" i see the graphics card. http://puu.sh/lAZMh/86df655089.jpg. What does it mean that it's hidden?

So today I bought a new DVI-D cable and the problem isn't fixed, but im still not sure whether it's a software problem or a hardware problem. I also reinstalled windows on fresh, and my pc still can't detect my GTX card. A little bump in hope of someone to help. Is there any way to check if my graphics card has died.

Hi I signed up just to reply, but hopefully you haven't thrown away your graphics card yet... have you checked that you've actually plugged your monitor into the graphics card, and not into the motherboard?
