Hey everyone! I finally built my dream PC after saving up and researching for weeks. I was so proud of assembling everything, but now I'm facing a frustrating issue where my graphics card isn't detected by Windows. I've tried reinstalling drivers, checking all cables, and even swapping the GPU to a different PCIe slot, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else dealt with this after building their PC? I'm worried it might be a costly fix or a sign of a faulty GPU. Any tips or similar experiences would really help me out!

It might not be a driver problem; sometimes, components just aren’t seated properly. Make sure your RAM is installed correctly, as that could lead to weird detection issues.
Hey, have you checked that your monitor's cable is plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard? It's a common mistake to accidentally connect it to the onboard graphics. Make sure everything is in the right place!
Listing all your parts could help with troubleshooting. Also, are you using a PCIe riser? That might be part of the issue too.
You might need a BIOS update for your motherboard; that’s been a common fix. Sharing your specs would really help us narrow it down!
I faced a similar issue and it turned out my GPU just wasn't seated properly. I removed it, reconnected everything, and then pushed it back in firmly. It worked like a charm after that!
