    Hey guys, so i have an asus K53SV and my 1st motherboard got broken (dc adapter broken). So i ordered a new motherboard on aliexpress and received it, installed it but i never detected the Nvidia GPU, so i asked for a change (thinking the GPU was already dead) and i just received a new motherboard (3rd one), just installed everything but still cant detect the Nvidia GPU, so im a little bit lost, am i doing something wrong ? After a fresh w7 install, i install drivers in that order :
    -chipset
    -usb 3.0
    -asus atk
    -intel hd driver
    and then the nvidia drivers which fails and say that there is no compatible devices ( the device manager only detects the intel gpu...)\

    so what do you think guys ?
