Geforce experience help

[char2200]

I really don't even know where to start with the issues I'v been having. I guess I'll start with the title, Geforce experience has been forcing me to download the same driver software every time I start it and I can't figure out why It always says that I have driver updates. I'm also having a lot of trouble with SLI'ing my two identical graphics cards. I go into SLI setting’s set my desired SLI setting’s click apply and the program becomes unresponsive so much so that when I restart my computer it doesn’t even run anymore. The cards are brand new here are my computer specs as of right now I’m at a loss. If I have left any information out please let me know I would love to figure out what's going on thank you.

Mother board- AsRock 990FX Killer
CPU- AMD FX6200
Power supply – Corsair HX 850
GPU’s- 2 NVIDIA GTX 770’s

Try going back to older drivers (get one of the December releases for example) and see if you can get SLI to work. Ignore update prompts.

Thank you for the help what you suggested seems to have worked. Interestingly enough I tried downloading a older driver but it didn't work, so I downloaded the December version 361.43 as you suggested and it worked. I don't understand why the most current Geforce experience doesn't work do you have any idea?

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Thank you I will try this but I must say I'm a little apprehensive about doing this right now because it seems to be working just on an older version of Geforce experience, I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. Again thank you for your time.

There was a recent release of drivers that was problematic and was giving problems going as far as BSOD. Nvidia had to pull this version off eventually. There are still users reporting problems with newer releases, hence I considered safe going back to an older release and there's no reports of issues with December drivers.
I would stick to those drivers for a couple of months before accepting the updates proposed by GeForce Experience.
You don't need to do any of the steps suggested with full uninstalls etc since your system is working fine.
Glad it worked out, enjoy your kickass SLI system 😉
