So I'm having computer freezing problems still and decided to get Speccy to see what my stuff was at. I realised that it didn't look like it was picking up my GeForce GTX 950 graphics card. Any ideas? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Run CPU-Z and see if it determines your graphics card otherwise you will need to check Device Manager as well.

Do your other programs show your gpu temp and being active? I sense you could possibly be using integrated graphics and you gpu is not currently working...

I'll get CPU-Z now and I don't have other programs. Freshly Wiped and Debice Manager just says Standard VGA Adapter

You got the drivers installed for it. Are you plugging the monitor cable into your GPU or onboard?

Have you installed the correct drivers for it?

I have tried but it says no device found or something similar to that. It isint hoeing in CPU-Z either. I'm using a HDMI cable to hook it to my monitor also.

Check if your graphics card is connected to your motherboard correctly.

Looks to me like you're using the video outputs from your motherboard rather than your GPU.

Are you running GeForce Experience? It will tell you in there.

Dad brought it to his work as a friend builds computers. Will do next steps when I get it back if it still happens.
