Monitor not working anymore after installing nvidia drivers

[Rag145]

Hi, I made a fresh install of windows recently and my monitor was working fine but when I downloaded and installed nvidia drivers I heard a disconnection sound + my screen goes no signal I uninstalled the drivers with DDU and the monitor worked again then windows update reinstalled the drivers and it's not working again, Isearched on internet if anyone had the same issue as me but I didn't find anything thats why I'm posting here.

Does your CPU have integrated graphics?

 

If so, you could try using that to uninstall and then reinstall your GPU drivers.

Go into the BIOS, see if there is a "use dedicated GPU, use iGPU multimode" or some variation. If it's enabled, it will allow you to use the iGPU and the dedicated GPU at the same time and you can troubleshoot this.

 

Otherwise. Assume the dedicated GPU is working, but go into safe mode to install the nVidia drivers. Windows will only install nVidia drivers if Windows Update is permitted to do so. It will install the DCH drivers instead of the standard driver. It ultimately doesn't matter if you use the DCH driver or not, but the nVidia control panel might not get installed if the DCH driver is used.

 

Make sure to plug a monitor into the dedicated GPU, and then plug it into the iGPU (the motherboard connector) to see if something is on the screen. If the iGPU works and the dedicated GPU does not, you may still be able to install the nVidia driver while running off the iGPU. If you aren't sure this will work, plug two HDMI cables from your PC (one from the GPU and one from the iGPU) into your monitor and switch between the two and see what happens.

 

If it boots, the iGPU should work, regardless if the Dedicated GPU does or not.

 I'm already using DCH nvidia drivers

OK, does it work in safe mode at all? When you hear the monitor switch modes and then nothing shows up, that typically means it's set to a resolution that doesn't work.

nope safe mode don't work either I'll try reinstalling the drivers in safe mode though
