Yes, I just plugged the 1060 into a PC that bormally runs with onboard graphics and it worked right away.

Okay, I will try that.

Bought the card online. And in a different PC it worked fine, I tried that yesterday. And that, too, was an upgraded Windows installation.

UEFI version is 2.50

I did check for the bios update, and there is one but it's from 2014, and it didn't seem applicable, brcause they only 'improved Ultra Fast compatibility'. Alright, I will do that. Thanks for your help, anyways.

Didn't work. The installer says "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistrutable packages for Visual Studio cannot be installed in safe mode. This graphics card driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".

yes

It's still not showing.

And shouldn't the motherboard detect the GPU, regardless of whether there's a monitor plugged in or not?

Well, my monitor has only two HDMI and one VGA port. And I don't have a VGA cable at hand right now, much less a DVI to VGA adapter or something like that.

hmm...let me check.

HDMI...

I got it through the free upgrade program that Windows offered. It's an upgraded Win7 installation. But I don't see how that could be a problem, as the motherboard won't even pass POST, long before Windows is booted.

Didn't work. I only got 5 beeps and the d6 error code, like before.
