So my video card died, rocking an old one, but having driver issues. I thought i had removed all of my AMD drivers as my old card is a GTX but I'm still getting errors.

 

I was wondering if there is software out there (free) that will remove all un necessary drivers, and update/maintain the correct drivers for your hardware?

 

Yes I know this is just an easy mode type of program, I just want to get rid of these errors. Haha

Reinstall the OS is the best way to deal with it.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Aand pretty stupid also. Repairing can also work, as will finding troublemaker files and deleting them.

Doing that is like 75% as effective and is going to take like, at least 2x a long.

And you will keep like, at least 100% of your programs and personal files. 

 

Reinstalling is nice to do if you can spare a day or two placing all files back, setting up accounts, settings and default programs.

The guru3d program seemed to work just fine :) Thanks DND. Side note, Gigabytes RMA process is slooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. haha

@DND

No prob dude glad that i could help. I'll take note of that if that was an EVGA product i think it would be a lot faster cause EVGA has one of the best supports.

And you don't back up your data as it is?

That still means you'll need to take the time to place back the backup, and the other things mentioned. No matter whether you created a backup specifically for the reinstall or already do it periodically.
