  One possible reason for your GPU not being detected in the device manager could be outdated or incompatible drivers. Try updating your GPU drivers to the latest version and see if that resolves the issue. You can usually find the latest drivers on the manufacturer's website. If updating the drivers doesn't work, you can also try reinstalling them completely. Make sure to uninstall the old drivers first before installing the new ones. This should help in troubleshooting the problem and getting your GPU recognized for cryptocurrency mining.

  Sometimes, the GPU not being detected in the device manager can be due to a hardware issue. Check if the GPU is properly connected to the motherboard and power supply. Ensure that all the cables are securely plugged in and that there are no loose connections. Additionally, try using a different PCIe slot on the motherboard to see if that makes a difference. If none of these steps work, it's possible that the GPU itself is faulty and may need to be replaced.
