GTX 970 switching between Display Devices and Other devices

[Max_83]

Hi guys,

My PC was all working fine yesterday. I switched it on today to play some R6 Siege.

I must add that before doing anything I went to install the new nvidia graphics drivers via GEforce Experience and the installation failed on everything.

For some reason my graphics card isn't working and keeps switching between Display Devices and Other devices. It is fully functional when under Display Devices (only stays like this for a few seconds before going back to Other devices where my computer functions as if there was no 970 installed at all...

Possible motherboard issue? I will be putting the 970 into another PC tonight to rule it out...
Or is it because of that failed installation?








CPU
Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard
MSI Z97M GAMING (MS-7919) (SOCKET 0)
GPU
GTX 970

Thanks in advance,

Max

I suspect its a failed driver installation:

Use DDU to un-install the Nvidia driver suite and download and install the latest Nvidia driver for your OS

Unfortunately DDU did not doo the trick and it is still failing to install 🙁

Nevermind! I used an old version of DDU. Used the latest build from that link Sinister and it worked first time!!

Thank you so much. The urge to kill was very strong until about 10 minutes ago haha
