Ok so I just got all of my parts to my PC and it will not recognize my GPU. It is a PCI version of the Geforce 8400 GS. My mother board is a MSI K9N6PGM-V2. When plugged in the card turns on but is extremely slow and the resolution is bad. I have updated the drivers by the disc and the website. When i go to the Device Driver it shows PCI to PCI and says the device can not be started. It will not recognize it in any way. The on board graphics work fine but i would like to use my card so i can dual monitor. Help?

Try connecting the Monitor to the GPU and then adjusting the resolution.

The Monitor has been connected. This card worked fine in other computers. I am running windows 7 ultimate. I can adjust the resolution but the refresh rate it extremely slow and it will not recognize the name of the card. When i try the Nvidia control panel it says i have no Nvidia devices connected.
 
What I mean to say is connect the monitor to the GPU not the onboard video card.Connect the monitor to the 8400.The single monitor and then try runnning those games.
 
The on board is disabled. It will not show up as an 8400 GS. It shows up as nothing. It won't show it or anything. It is connected to the Graphics card directly.
 
Download Driver Sweeper and Use it to completely remove nvidia graphics drivers
Download latest nvidia driver (don't install yet)
Reset CMOS and re enter settings
Install GPU
Boot in safe mode (Tap F8)
Insall nvidia driver
Restart
 
That didn't work. It just installs the driver for the onboard card. Is there a way I can just put in what model number in or something so the computer knows what type of card is in it?
 
Ok so after hours apon hours of tinkering, I have decided that my motherboard will just not accept a PCI graphics card. I ordered a EVGA Geforce GT 240 for some games with HDMI support. Screw the old card. I am just hoping that the PCI-E slot doesn't do the same thing. If it does i am going to send my MOBO back and purchase a new one.
