So everything is set to default and I have the latest mobo version (granted I hadn't done this in a good 7-8 months I'd say).Ĭard is still listed as basic display adapter in Windows. I download the latest drivers for my mobo from Asus, head in to the BIOS and run it off the flash drive, success. "Error trying to install" or something, BUT, it lists the GTX 970.Ĭheck DM again, still listed as basic display adapter.
Delete and reboot to get the display adapter listed in DM, ran the Nvidia driver to get the Nvidia folder on my C drive, right click the display adapter and install drivers by saying I have a disk and point the directory to the nv_disp.inf file. Check DM again, display is now listed as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" or something. Fire her up again, monitor works fine so all is good.īack in to Windows, can't even up the resolution. Check I've clicked the card in properly, swapped out the PCI-E cables. Just a yellow icon in "Unknown devices."ĭelete the Nvidia folders newly created, shut down. Go to device manager, display is not even there. Brand new card, £250 wasted, what have I done etc. (DOES THE INSTALLER SAY SOMEWHERE WHAT IT HAS DETECTED?)Ĭustom install, select only PhysX and the driver, hit install and walk away as I usually do with driver installs in the past, done it countless times.įirst time ever, I come back to "Nvidia driver failed to install." Specifically listed the driver as not installed or failed or whatever. In to Windows, run the Nvidia driver I downloaded, it scans my system and the agreement comes up. As I shut down, I realized I didn't delete the Nvidia folders, but hey, there's a clean install option that Nvidia introduced so I believe you don't need to clean up much any more.Īnyway, slap in the new MSI GXT 970 (oh it's so pretty), plug in everything again, monitor turns on, sweet, success - card isn't a dud. Windows 8.1, I've had a SLI 770 setup for over a year, and grabbed a good bargain on a GTX 970 from Ebay (sold because his PC wasn't compatible, came with everything in the box, even the sleeve over the PCI connector etc) as I plan to SLI them in the future.Ĭard arrived, downloaded the latest 970 driver from Nvidia (8.1 64bit), I uninstalled Geforce Experience, then PhysX, then the current driver using program uninstall from the control panel. MSI GTX 970 (2x EVGA GTX 770s to hand as well) Fresh install of Windows 8.1 and not allowing Windows to download updates or drivers by disconnecting my wireless dongle before and throughout the install, then installing chipset drivers and then the latest Nvidia driver resulted in my 970 being detected and the drivers installing correctly.
