Graphics Card not appearing in device manager, or BIOS
5 replies, posted
Not sure if this is the right place to do this but, I moved cases and my GPU stopped being detected by my computer entirely. The fan turns on, as well at the LED's. I have tried the following: Resetting the CMOs, Setting PCI-E to my default graphics adapter, disabling Intel integrated graphics, switching PCI-E cables, re-seating the GPU and installing drivers (It actually wouldn't let me do this due to a lack of "compatible hardware")
Here's a Speccy screengrab from earlier, leaving out the PSU being a Corsair HX750.

Did you try another PCI-E slot (if you've got one)?

I don't have another. Could it be a broken slot?

It's possible.
If it were me I'd get a new mobo but that's just me.

If you've got another PC lying around you could test that way to see if it's the card.

You should take the computer into like a Memory Express (if you're in Canada) and see if they can test the card and the mobo.

Kinda wondering why you'd get a mobo with only one PCI-E x16 slot and 2 PCI slots. You don't really need PCI slots these days as most things that use them also come in a PCI-E x1 flavour and you've got 3 of those. Of course if you're on a tight budget then it'd be an ok board I guess but you've also got a 980 soooo...
That said, what you could also do is stick an older GPU in your computer to test if the slot is dead. If it doesn't see the older card then the slot is dead. if the card works fine then you know that probably there is an issue with the 980.

I got the motherboard on sale for around $60, so it was basically a steal. I planned on upgrading later for SLI. I'm gonna go out and pick up an Asus Z97-A motherboard. I pray it's not the 980, since I have no other GPU to try out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Nice choice. Got an Asus Sabertooth Z87 myself and it's great.
