Question Drivers wont install after upgrade

[frictioncore]

So i just received my GTX 1060 upgrading from a 1050. After trying to re-install the drivers it keeps giving me the same error (Nvidia installer failed, Installation failed, etc) no matter where I install from. I used DDU to remove the drivers and try a fresh install but it still didn't work.

Which OS are you using ? Maybe try doing a FRESH Windows OS re-install ?? Just make sure you are installing the GAME ready drivers/GRD, and not the Creator version/CRD. Also, there are 2 driver types, DCH and Standard. Which one did you install ?

DCH drivers cannot be installed over Standard Drivers, and Standard Drivers cannot be installed over DCH Drivers. The choice must be made after a cleaning via DDU.

To check which display driver type you need, right-click over the Windows desktop -> select NVIDIA Control Panel -> click on the System Information link on the bottom left hand corner of the NVIDIA Control Panel -> look at text that follows “Driver Type”. You should see one of the following : DCH or Standard, assuming you are able to install the drivers.

Also make sure you are installing the correct driver version as well, i.e 64-bit if using a 64-bit OS, and not 32-bit.

I'm using Windows 10, i'd like to keep a fresh OS install as a sort of last resort. I'm installing the game ready drivers. I installed standard, and I don't have the NVIDIA control panel due to me not being able to install any sort of drivers
