Ok so he has a gt 520, (nothing special, i know) and he updated his drivers to the latest and he everything was fine but netflix's colors were completely off. So he installed an older driver and it was fine while installing but after it went back to to the way it was before. Now, being the smart person he is, he uninstalled his drives all together, and now it wont recognize his gpu at all. halp pls.

Did he uninstall the past drivers from the last gpu if there was one? and if he is using the gpu output for the monitor, it's using the GPU so it knows it's there. Just re-install the drivers.

He has a prebuilt, so he only had whatever was on it before. The resolution scaled down now, and is no longer 1080p. We tried reinstalling older drivers and it said it couldnt find the card.
