What is the specific error you're getting? Need more context.

What error comes up?

 

Try: 

- taking out the card

- checking power connection

- check PSU connections if you have a modular PSU

I had a problem updating my drivers with geforce before. I just downloaded the new driver directly off their website and that worked. Did you try it that way too?

try this, uninstall the driver completely than try to reinstall it. I would advise making a restore point in case this fails too.

must be a problem with windows... which version do you have?

[Pachuca]

also have you tried going to a restore point as far back as possible than trying to install the driver again or is this a brand new pc?

I assume you run as admin when doing the install? It could be a registry issue that's causing the failed install. Maybe search online for a solution if it's a known issue, otherwise, a fresh reinstall should fix this problem too bad there's no quick fix for it.
