GTX 1060 Working Off And On

[JamesOfEarth]

I just got a brand new GTX 1060 today. I set it up with all of the latest drivers and opened Far Cry: Primal, and my screen went blank, giving me the message "Input Not Support." I tried my other games and some games work and others give me this same message.

Games that work: Skyrim, Fallout 4, Mad Max, 7 Days to Die, and Conan Exiles.
Games that don't work: GTA V, Far Cry Primal, Far Cry 3, and Warhammer: Total War.

I haven't tried it with more games, because these are the only ones I have installed at the moment. The updater tells me I have the latest drivers, and all of the games are patched up to the latest version. Every one of these games worked with my R9 290, that I just got rid of. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Okay, first download DDU. Remove the drivers you had previously in safemode (an option in the program). Download the nvidia driver. Install it.
You have conflicting drivers.

It didn't work. I downloaded the program and went to safe mode per its restart option, then uninstalled both my old AMD drivers and the current Nvidia drivers. Then installed new drivers for my Nvidia card. No dice. The same games still give me the same error.

Try running basic prompts as admin:
sfc /scannow C: /r
chkdsk C:
Check window's updates.

Also what resolution were you running the games on previously? It could be that you are now running the games on a resolution your current card isn't compatible with. Here's a video on how to fix that:

Problem solved! That was it. When the GeForce Experience decided to "optimize" all of my games, it set some of them to a higher resolution than my monitor could use. All I had to do was change the option and everything started up fine. Thanks a bunch!

Yay glad to help
