I have been having some problems with my graphics card, so I have been told that a good place to start would be to uninstall and reinstall my gpu drivers. I'm new to this kind of stuff, so how exactly is the best way to do that. I don't want to screw anything up.

 

Thanks

 

My Build:

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600

Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb 3000mhz

Storage: Samsung 860 evo 120gb ssd

               WD Blue 1TB HDD

GPU: XFX Radeon RX580 8gb Black Edition

PSU: EVGA 600W 80+

First, uninstall them through Windows like any other program, then reboot.

Then, clean the leftover driver files with Driver Sweeper. https://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html

 

After reboot, install the newest drivers from the manufacturer's (nVidia or AMD) website.

Download ypu new driver for the card and Display Driver Uninstaller.

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
