Question BSOD When Updating NVIDIA GPU nvhda64v.sys

[kerrbearrxo]

Whenever Nvidia driver is available and I select to update it, I get a BSOD whilst it's installing with the error code nvhda64v.sys

Never had this problem before February this year and my PC is coming up to 3 years old. I went to update the GPU drivers of my 1070 because they mentioned they released Apex Legends support and as a result I got a BSOD. Thought it was strange, tried it again, BSOD again. So I decided to reformat my PC a (totally wiped it), reinstalled drivers - no issues. The driver installed fine with no issues.

So I assumed "oh must have been a broken windows file" ... wrong.

An update has come out today and I've had the same issue again - BSOD.

Any help?

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: include the version you're on

Which version of Nvidia's drivers are you on? You might also want to see if you've got any BIOS updates for your platform.

fixed it myself
Selecting custom installation and selecting the box "remove previous versions" when installing drivers fixed this issue
