I've tried everything...
Updated the BIOS, did a clean wipe of all the old drivers—honestly, I've been at this for ten hours straight and I'm losing my mind.
A full format and a fresh install of Windows 10 fixed it; everything is running perfectly now.
It looks like things were just completely messed up within the OS.

thanks

I know... that's exactly why I went out and grabbed a new one.
Now we’re facing a second issue.🤷Maybe you should give my previous post a bit more attention—you clearly missed the point.😛
Hey there.

Benjamin King2 said:The card should function regardless of how long the slot is. Have you actually tried installing the drivers yet?

Well, I can't even get the drivers to install...
The installer runs a hardware scan and just tells me there's no compatible hardware found. 🙂

Hey there,

A couple of days ago, some vertical lines started streaking across my screen. A buddy of mine took one look at it and insisted my graphics card was basically on its deathbed... 🙂
I'm running an ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard here.
So, I went out and picked up a new card—an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630, 2GB DDR3, with DVI and HDMI.
But once we got it seated in the rig and fired everything up, the system properties showed the NVIDIA driver reporting a measly 14MB.
In other words, the computer isn't even recognizing what I just bought.
One thing I noticed while messing around with the hardware is that the PCIe slot on the motherboard looks significantly longer than the actual contact pins on the card itself. Could that be why the system isn't "reading" it?
