Hello, I recently bought a hard drive to put in my pc along with my ssd and when I installed it idk if I accidently unplugged other wires or not to it so idk what to check since I'm not to savvy with computers but my graphics card is a pny GeForce gtx 1060 direct 12, I have tried reinstalling drivers and also the led lights on it doesn't work any more but the fans still run on it so what do I need to do to fix it?

Everything else works fine on it, it didn't feel like it was connected loosely

Hello daltonpp,

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.
 
Tip
If using a computer and not a mobile phone, please avoid adding multiple posts while waiting for us to reply to your last, edit your last post to include anything that you wish to add, this will ensure nothing gets overlooked which can sometimes happen if a thread has more than one page.

Sorry but not what we need, can you post the link that is generated when you run Speccy;

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.
In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.
Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Edit to add: The example Speccy url http://speccy.piriform.com/results/nGmV1yekiTFbWJJ1oggVwcV
 
No worries and you are welcome :)

Both the GTX 1060 and its drivers are listed in Speccy so the system knows that they are there, can I ask you to make sure that the screen is attached to a video port on your add on video card and not to a video port on the motherboard.
 
I'm confused on what you mean by that, there's only one cord going to the power supply and that's it
 
Never mentioned any power cable daltonpp, please re read my reply #12

The video cable goes from your monitors input port and in this instance it should also go into a video port on your add on video port at the back of the computer, not your MB else you will only be using the processors HD graphics, see attachment below;

Lol I feel like a noon now had no idea thought I could just plug it in anywhere but thanks alot for the help anyway to send a donation yo you?
 
Hey we all had to start somewhere and that is what forums are for, learning and sharing knowledge (y)

Thanks for the kind thought but our help is free, you can make a donation to help with forum running costs though and the info for that is here gets you some extra forum permissions as well :)
 
Glad you were able to get your issue resolved daltonpp. Sometimes the simplest solution is just checking for cable connections and ensuring you have your computer connected to the right peripherals so use this as a way to learn more about technology so that you can also tell others who may run into this issue down the road as well.
