I recently installed a new graphics card in my PC, but it hasn't been working because I don't have the drivers. Unfortunately, I can't install the drivers since Nvidia isn't detecting the GPU at all. I tried to enter BIOS to set the boot to an external graphics device, but now I can't even access BIOS to change the settings. I'm feeling really stuck and would appreciate any help!

Have you tried using integrated graphics? If your motherboard has a video output, connect your monitor there instead. Once it’s working, you can install the Nvidia drivers for your new card.
When you say "it didn't work," do you mean it won't boot? Usually, after installing the GPU, you'd install the drivers in Windows; it should at least run on default settings until you do that. It could be the GPU isn't seated correctly or that something else got bumped during installation. What exactly happens when you try to access BIOS? Does your computer not boot?
I couldn't download the drivers because Nvidia's software doesn't detect the graphics card. Plus, I can’t seem to open BIOS at all; I've tried pressing F2, Delete, and F12 multiple times, but nothing happens.
I can't use the integrated graphics now because I've set it to only use the external graphics card. I need to get into BIOS to change that, but I can't access it.
