Hi, I recently bought another computer, MSI Z270-SLI PLUS, 7600k , 1070 ti etc. However, when I reinstalled windows I got a error while trying to install nvidia drivers. I've never seen it before until this computer, and I've had alot of different comps. Worth mentioning that I have windows 10 home, not pro. I've seen that there are a couple of fixes, and some workarounds. But is there a reason why? Pic: https://imgur.com/a/kqlD5SK
The error tells you why, wrong version of Windows for that driver, try a different driver compatible with whichever version of 10 you have installed
Windows Update installed the Nvidia DCH driver for your card. Read the FAQ to learn more about it: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...-standard-display-drivers-for-windows-10-faq/ You can use DDU with Internet disabled to change to Standard drivers.
First be sure that Windows 10 version is up-to-date. ---------------------------------------- Check into MB BIOS to set : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE (be careful) : http://download.msi.com/bos_exe/mb/7A59v1A.zip ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Install: http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/430.86/430.86-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe
I've had that error myself with fairly recent drivers, I just installed different drivers OP what version number of Windows 10 have you installed?
Version number, as in the latest is 1903, one before that was 1809 etc etc Type winver into run to get this
Thats overkill. Please uninstall geforce, run ccleaner. Get the Latest version of Ddu that released last week.
Download and install the latest version of Display Driver Uninstaller (aka DDU) and run it in Safe Mode. In DDU Settings, ensure the option to prevent Windows from installing drivers from Windows update is ticked. For the first time doing this, disconnect your computer from the internet. Run DDU in safe mode to clean out GPU/Nvidia drivers, then restart. Install 430.97 again and ensure it isn't the DCH version and also not the notebook version. Also ensure it is the proper version for your OS (64 bit vs. 32 bit). Hopefully it'll work.
This is not a weird issue. I've already tried to explain it to you before but you just didn't pay any attention: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/error-while-trying-to-install-drivers.427068/#post-5677816 GFE can autodetect the type of driver your Windows use and then download the appropriate driver (Standard or DCH).
