I am setting up a new PC, I just installed windows 7 but it doesn't detect the card for what it is (nVidia GTX 760) and the device manager in windows only show a generic "Standard VGA adapter".
The nvidia drivers I downloaded say they can't find any supported hardware.
I have installed all the drivers that came with the motherboard (ASRock H170 pro4), but to no avail. The BIOS setup detects the nvidia card on the PCI-E slot, but windows just sees a standard VGA adapter.
I am using the correct card (the monitor is connected to it, not to the builtin motherboard adapter).
The card is ok because I just took it off another PC on which it has been working perfectly since I bought it.
What can I do to solve this?

I had this problem when I did a put a new card into my windows 10 machine. Like you, I tried downloaded drivers or waiting for Windows to correctly identify it with multiple reboots but in the end, I had to use the driver disk that came with the card. For some reason, the physical install program worked.
