Graphics card: not detected

[Needhelp23]

Bought a PC about a month ago. Computer was fine last night. Today, I find that my computer isn't detecting the graphics card installed or my Philips monitor like it normally would. I only noticed this because the resolution of the screen is stretched and I couldn't fix it with my monitor or adjusting the resolution in settings (it won't slide up high enough)

No idea what model the graphics card was. All I know is that it was from GIGABYTE and it was from the NVIDIA series. That's all it says on the disk that came with the computer when I bought it. (everything was already installed when I bought it)

The specs that I can actually gather are:

Windows Version: Microsoft Windows 8  (build 9200), 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Graphics Card:
Total RAM: 16.0 GB

I checked for the specs where I bought it from and it just says '1GB Graphics'

any help?

You could try HWINFO and see what your card is. Run the summary info.

Or, In device manager click on Display adapter and it should say what card you have.

Or you could try a system restore to an earlier point and see if that fixes your issue.

Thanks.

nVIDIA GeForce 210 (GT218).

What now?

EDIT: I found drivers for it online, and the installation fails every time

EDIT2: system restored to the day before it happened. Fixed.
