Nvidia Graphics Card Is Not Connecting on My Computer!

JaedenAnderson · March 17, 2022, 07:51

Hello everyone, Yesterday I bought Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. I'm having trouble connecting it to a computer. I cant find out the reason behind this. Could anyone please help me to fix this?

You will have to provide more information for any chance of solving the problem. Remember, people on the internet can't see inside your office, let alone inside your head.

Yeah, We definitely need more info.

Plug it into the PCIE Slot, make sure it is seated properly.
Attach whatever 6 or 8 pin power cables from the power supply to the card.
Make sure your power supply is capable of supplying enough power to that card. (A really small power supply may not work)
Attach video cable between card and monitor. Make sure this is a compatible connection if you are using adapters: for example, HDMI out of card to Displayport Into monitor does not work, it only works the other way around. Try a different cable, make sure your monitor is on the right source.
Try a different PCIE slot if the first one didn't work. Top slot is usually used first.

My current PC setup:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
CPU: i5-7400
RAM: 2*8 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz
Motherboard: ASRock H110M
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB
SSD: Crucial BX500 480GB

I found this article before posting here that discussed a few different techniques. Could anyone confirm if these might be helpful?

evelica gave you a pretty comprehensive list of things to check. Please work through that and report back.
Since we still don't know at which stage exactly you are stuck, it is hard to give any specific advice.

You could check BIOS setting. In my case, my computer did not recognize any graphic card if using CPU built-in graphic card.
This problem was solved when I set external graphic card as output in BIOS.

According to versus comparison, This graphics card not detected problem may occur if you are using the wrong graphics driver or it's out of date. So you should update your graphics driver to see if it fixes your problem. If you don't have the time, patience or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
