In addition to the other posts, I would warn against installing another graphics card in your computer unless it's your own and one you don't care if gets fried as well. I have had a few motherboards where the socket itself would go bad with voltage spikes and take out concurrent video cards. I had to learn the hard way the first time... If your device manager isn't reading it, that's definitely a bad sign. I would write it off as toasted. The fact that it was working the previous day and defaulted to the onboard the next day is a good sign it fried. My two cents for what it's worth...

Think I'm dumb or something? Of course.

1. Restart your computer and enter BIOS.
2. Find a setting to change the Graphics Init from Onboard to PCIe
3. Exit and save from BIOS setup.
4. Install latest drivers again.
Tell me if this helped you!
I thought about it, but what if the PCI card doesn't respond?
How will I be able to change it back to onboard if I can't see?
