Nvidia Driver HELP NEEDED!

[SeanGorry]

I have Win 10 Pro x64 Version 1607 (Anniversary) on my computer. I installed a MSI Gaming X GTX 1060 and the computer booted first time, all fine there. Once in windows, no new hardware detect popped up, and when I ran the driver installer from Nvidia (newest version for Win 10x 64 AU), it comes up with a "graphical hardware cannot be detected". Windows has a Basic Display Driver with 4GB of ram as the display driver, however no display driver is listed in device manager. CPU-Z shows that a GTX 1060 is installed, but no info is listed.

I've ran DDU, and tired older driver versions, but the error keeps coming up 

 

Any ideas?

Is everything plugged in properly? GPU reseated, video out plugged in on the GPU not the iGPU, is the 6pin pcie connector plugged in.

Seated perfectly, no integrated graphics, 8 pin is siting comfortably.

I wish it was a hardware problem, its driving me up the wall.

have  you tried to force install the driver? like manually installing the driver from device manager?

[nobelharvards]

Did you have an AMD GPU or Intel iGPU before you installed your 1060?

 

If you did, have you tried using DDU to wipe Intel or AMD graphics as well?

 

Have you tried reverting to Windows 10 version 1511? Anniversary update problems have been well documented. Steam had issues, nVIDIA drivers had issues, a lot of things had issues. Some troubleshooting templates even included a "Are you on the anniversary update?" as a question in their ticketing system.

No display devices are listed in dm, I went into advanced display settings and found the Basic Display Driver listed. Cant understand why it says 4Gb when the 1060 has 6Gb.

How would I go about forcing the nvidia driver on it?

I had an AMD card in, I ran DDU but got the same error. I think a revert would be the best idea. MSI even asked was I using 1607.

Device manager -> "locate your GPU" -> Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have disk (on the right bottom corner) -> "locate the extracted driver files. Usually it's on C:\NVIDIA"

 

If that doesn't work:

Device manager -> "locate your GPU" -> Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Search for driver software in this location -> "Pinpoint it to the location of the extracted driver files". Let it run ? ?

 

BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT... Make sure that all existing driver software must be removed.

For DDU... make sure that you're running on safe mode..

 

Are you using a fresh install of windows? If not, try that

If you haven't cleared the old windows build.. try reverting to that.

 

Also, what errors do you get. from ddu
