Kept trying to restart and reinstall driver, and it eventually worked. Not sure why...

Posted

Hey, so basically I desided to open a game (rocket league) for the first time in like 3 months on my laptop. The game opened and was <1 FPS on the start screen. I was able to exit the game, and I tried to go into the Nvidia control panel to make sure that the correct GPU was being used. When I tried to open the control panel, I got an error message. I then tried to open up Geforce experience, and rather than opening, I got promted to install it. I continued with this, but then this error message popped up -

I followed all of the trouble shooting steps, but to no avail. I then used DDU to uninstall Nvidia drivers, but I still cannot get either Geforce experience or the drivers to install. Any ideas?

Did you see if the gpu was connected properly? And check if the gpu is still working. Hopefully it's not a hardware problem...

Gpu is soldered on. I'm thinking that the GPU is starting to die, not very surprising considering it's like 5 years old and has been run at 90+ deg for much of its lifetime. I got it to work eventually, but I don't use the laptop much anyways; usually I use my school issued chromebook
