going out on a limb here but could i force it to boot up by putting one of the old 580's in the primary slot then the 880 in secondary then load the driver to the 880 pull it out and put it back in primary? Or does it not work that way? -

however if i boot with peg it goes into different windows restore options and it also gives me the option of loading the driver manually. is there anyway to do that with the files i was given? I can also make it boot just fine with the integrated card selected but then the nvidia one doesn't display anywhere. This is all very confusing sorry for being such a pain. -

okay so did the old Nintendo trick took it out blew on the port then reinserted it boots now but goes into a weird boot loop im assuming because its set to peg for display and there's no driver so its freaking out? - - - Updated - - - also in BIOS it registers card as discrete graphics 1 nvidia GFX -

Thanks for the help j but unfortunately the installer still says it cannot find compatible graphics hardware even with your modded file. how should the card be displayed under the device manager? im not even sure it is registering at this point. only thing the computer sees is an unknown device which i think is the card and a unknown bus controller. Also i loaded the new card into the right graphic slot that is correct isnt it? -
