Help with GPU, new build

Hi, I recently have built my first PC!

I was very happy until i noticed my GPU wasn't in the Device Manager...

Its fans are running and the LED is powered up.

I tried a lot of things but then fixed by placing it again for the 4th time but this time giving more pressure and hearing a hard click.

It worked and i downloaded my drivers but couldn't get the HDMI output work (the one from the GPU).

I uninstalled and then reinstalled The Intel HD Graphics 4600 drivers seeing some people had said this might fix it.

It became worse because the GPU isn't in the Device manager anymore...

I again took it off and installed it again a few times with the extra pressure(again) but Windows just can't find it, what's going on and how can i fix this?

Just wanted to let you know that i fixed it. The GPU probably wasn't getting enough power.

I now have set it up like this: http://i.imgur.com/aXb8uSA.jpg

That way it did work for some reason. I first had it set up with only using both connections from one cable.
