No Support Hardware Detected :[

[Lambster]

Hey guys,

I've just bought a new GFX card:
MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

I've fitted the new card into the PC this morning by attaching it to the same slot that the previous ATI HD5850 had been in (which died on me recently!). I also uninstalled the ATI software/drivers etc...

Anyway, rebooted and autorun the CD which came with it, but I can't install the drivers as I just keep getting the repeated message:
"No Support Hardware Detected"

Assume this means the PC isn't finding the new card... So I've rebooted twice, just in case. Nothing changes. I've also gone in and moved the card to another PCI slot and reconnected.. Still the same message..

I am a bit of an amateur so maybe I am missing something obvious?

Please help! :]

Have you tried getting the latest drivers direct from Nvidia instead?

If that doesn't fix then I'm not sure what's wrong. You already mentioned you uninstalled the ATI drivers so that's not the issue.

Okay will try getting the drivers direct *crosses fingers*

Does your motherboard use onboard graphics?

Yes there must be some sort of onboard graphics, or I wouldn't be able to use PC without any card right (which I can)??

YAY!

Installed drivers from website and rebooted and it worked. Thanks all
