I don't want replace the motherboard  to but i think the it may be to old for the card perhaps the DDR5 v-ram on the card is clashing with the ga-b75m-d3h and CPU  support for DDR3. I dont know please help.

CPU: Intel Core i7‑3770 3.4 GHz Quad‑Core

Are your display cables plugged int the GPU?

You might have to disable iGPU.

Usually, you should be able to plug the GPU in, plug your display cables into the GPU and be on your way.

You might have to enable/disable something called iGPU Multi Monitor in your BIOS and you might have to change a setting that says something similar to Onboard video to PCIe.
