    Why not test the card properly to see if it's good or not ? ?

      What do you mean?  I put it in a machine to see if that would do any of that.

      Yeah, if the card is bad the machine won't POST simple as that :)
      Post back if the card is detected and you need help finding drivers

        Part of testing it properly...includes installing the proper drivers.
        Which is why i asked originally.

        If it's not showing in the Device Manager, it's probably dead.
        Dead devices will not always prevent POST.
