GPU no display after installing Nvidia Driver

[SleepyTsukii]

I recently broke my GT 730 and I'm still saving for a new GPU

 

But my dad gave me a GTX 550TI so I could use my PC (my PC has no integrated graphics)

 

I putted it in and there's no issue whatsoever but when I installed the GPU Driver of GTX 550TI it went black screen and restarting the PC over and over again.

 

I tried couple of fixed but it wouldn't work.

 

Such as hotfix driver

 

DDU

 

And it doesn't work.

 

I have a 700W PSU so I don't think that's the issue as well.

 

Please help

Do you know if the card actually works? As in did it work in another pc?

Yeah, But when I put it on my PC, it doesn't work. And when I check device manager, I get the error code 43

Try using windows in safe mode and see if it keeps restarting then. If it doesn't, then it will be a driver issue, maybe DDU was used incorrectly or failed to remove all.

I tried it as well, it doesn't work, on DDU I did the Clean and Restart option and it still didn't work (and yes I went to safe mode)

 

Edit: I forgot to mention that it boots normally on safe mode

Strange, if it works on safe mode I'd expect it to be a driver issue, but unless you have the wrong driver or something it can't be that.

I went with the GeForce Windows 10 Driver 353.62

 

It seems to be the right driver.

 

But is it optional to use driver easy?

Yeah, that's just an app that suggests drivers, I never use it.

That appears to be the wrong driver, hang on I will investigate

The one you said appears to be drivers for a laptop, try this one:

 

GeForce Windows 10 Driver | 353.30 | Windows 10 64-bit | NVIDIA

Make sure you use DDU again, clean and shutdown, swap the GPU, then install that ^

Will it still work on win 10?

I tried it, this time it doesn't show black screen but it doesn't seem to read my GPU? It still gives me the error 43.

 

Maybe I should try the driver easy next
