I just got my new 1080 ti and installed it. At first I couldn't get to NVidia's website, Now my computer was working fine before this, and now I don't know what to do. Only some websites work. I don't want to jump to conclusions and have to wipe windows but if that's what I have to do I will do it. I cant log in to GeForce experience as well
 
Solution
I'd say that your options are to reinstall Windows(as you mentioned) or Completely remove all graphics drivers using DDU, you did the AMD drivers but also delete the nVidia driver and reinstall. The nVidia driver install may have been corrupted by the remaining AMD driver.

It might not hurt to check to see if the network driver is up to date by going to the manufactures website.
Did you completely remove the old drivers and install the latest from nVidia? By completely, I mean using DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller), then installing the new drivers.

When you say some websites don't work, what specifically is it doing. If it's not displaying properly, that is likely the driver issue.
 


My last driver was for the rx 480 and before that for the r9 380 I don't know how to remove them no. I removed the AMD control panel and installed the drivers for the 1080 ti I don't know what else to do
It isn't displaying them. Sometimes I can get them to display text versions but for now most of them don't work.
 


can I delete the amd folder my specs have a 6700k and a 1080 ti as you already know
I'm very hesitant to download something without a link
 


Use DDU from this link: http://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=776
Open DDU and let it boot into safe mode, once it reboots and DDU reopens, make sure to set it to uninstall the AMD drivers, because it will most likely be set to uninstall Nividia once it opens. Then run it then you should be good to go.
 


DDU did open and it said it uninstalled the amd drivers It didn't fix anything what do I do now?
 


It didn't open in safe mode, or normal mode? If normal mode, the exe from the download is a self extracting archive (a zip file that unzips itself), and by default it will put the exe that you need to open in your downloads folder. It will be called Display Driver Uninstaller, open it and follow the directions from my last comment.
 


that is exactly what I did. It still isn't working.
 


Can you describe your issue a bit more into depth? Is it messing up the graphics on the websites or does it tell you that the site can't be reached?
 


It says the site can not be reached. Though all of googles sites work and I have been able to download things from the drive on google. That's the only way I was able to install the drivers and DDU
 


Ok, it's definitely not a graphics card issue. Check another browser and see if it lets you reach some websites.
 


I tried chrome and edge and still nothing changed
 
I've run into practically the same issues before. what happens is the drivers install process gets all wonky and it starts to corrupt and interfere with other drivers. You need to boot the PC into SAFE MODE with NETWORKING and completely remove ALL graphics drivers AND network drivers (such as wifi and lan) and then reboot PC back into normal mode and then plug in an ethernet cable and download and install nvidia drivers and network drivers then reboot pc. And then just to be on the safe side run the network troubleshooter and see if it comes up with any issues.

Also, download the network drivers before hand so that they are there just in case windows doesn't want to automatically reinstall basic network drivers after removing them.
 


would I do that using device manager?
 

Here are some things that you can try.

1) Check the date and time on your computer and make sure that they are correct.

2) Check if other devices on your network can connect to the sites in question.

3) Restart your modem and router.

4) Temporarily disable your antivirus and try some of those TRUSTED websites. Don't forget to re-enable it when you're done.

5) Press Win + R and type in cmd, then press enter. In the cmd type in "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotation marks.

6) Run the Windows Network Diagnostics by right clicking on the wifi strength bar and clicking "Troubleshoot problems"
 


First, I'd definitely make sure other devices on the network don't do the same thing, and run the network troubleshooter (right click on the wifi signal indicator at the bottom of the screen and choose "Troubleshoot problems"). It's your choice to reinstall windows, it will wipe all your applications and drivers. It will probably take longer to reinstall all of your things than it would to troubleshoot to figure out the issue. But, in the end, it's your choice on what to do.
