everything is up to date windows, etc, cant install drivers because it cant detect the graphics unit cant flash it or anything? Anyone know whats going on or is my graphics card just broken. ( I did buy it used off Facebook Market Place for like 125$ because the owner said "the computer wont recognize it")

what psu do you have? do the gpu fans spin on start up and any rgb turn on?\
ocean forge
do you have pictures of the gpu?
ocean forge
are your power cables secured?
solar grove
yes
solar grove
currently no im using onboard graphics because it doesnt detect it or send a video signal
ocean forge
what cpu/board is that?
ocean forge
can you try setting the pcie slot to gen3 in the bios?
solar grove
I don't think so it's a gygabyte bios
solar grove
I'm in bios rn
ocean forge
can you send a picture of what you see using your phone?
solar grove
ocean forge
go to peripherals and send another pciture
solar grove
ocean forge
select super io configuration and see what that gives you

Maybe he flashed it with a mining VBIOS
ocean forge
thats also another possibility
idk how to navigate this bios, but from your 2nd shot i see that primary display is your first pcie slot
you can just go to save and exit
languid topaz
Hello again Mr. Explorer
solar grove
Ok
ocean forge
hey
it'll be really challenging to prove that it has a mining vbios, the only way to know is to ask the seller
languid topaz
Idk how to flash the correct VBIOS if it can't be detected unless GPU-z can see it
solar grove
It can't I've tried
languid topaz
Yeah and the last time I had a card do this it was bad memory
That was a cheap price for the card but he was honest. Just wondering if he bought it 2nd hand to try and fix
solar grove
idk
languid topaz
@solar grove Have you checked with gpu-z?
solar grove
what he said is people were telling him he could download something and it would fix the problem
yes
gpu z only detects my onboard graphics
languid topaz
Yeah that's not a good sign
languid topaz
Idk couldn't be just download hive and try to mine with it to see if it has a mining vbios?
It's interesting that the system didn't give an error but that is a cheap board
languid topaz
Well I mean just having a k sku is a good reason lol
ocean forge
you can flash the bios
but i forget if nvflash needs to identify the gpu in device manager
solar grove
i had someone already try to flash it with nvflash
languid topaz
I think it has to have a path to direct the flash file to
I would say try it on a higher end board with a error code readout
ocean forge
probably need to do it through eeprom
solar grove
hmm

Have you tried just reinstalling the GPU? And made sure the right power cables are plugged in-
languid topaz
@delicate bloom It was sold with the seller having the same issue. Read the original post

I read the post. My question remains unchanged
No one else asked(that I saw), so I am.
languid topaz
@delicate bloom I assumed he tried easier troubleshooting before trying to flash the VBIOS.
delicate bloom
Assume nothing-
Take the GPU out, reseat it...plug power cables back in
Layer 1 first
languid topaz
Yeah, I've seen systems where only the 6 part of the 6+2 was plugged in but worked. Also, had one where the 20 part of 20+4 was only plugged in.
It was...interesting
delicate bloom
Lmfao wtf
languid topaz
They still posted just fine. Never seen that before.
I guess because not under load. But the 24 pin one was really odd
That's probably why he brought it to me because it was crashing under load.
solar grove
Doesn't matter im reselling it
delicate bloom
Lmfao
