New Geforce gt 610 2gig graphics card crashin my computer

[abigbunny]

Soo i recently wanted to upgrade my graphics card and bout a Geforce gt 610 with 2gigs of vram at best buy. I searched online and saw that it worked with my inpirion 660s pentium with 4gigs or ram. I installed all of the drivers however upon restarting my comp it froze on the window screen. And after countless tries to troubleshoot and what not i found out the graphics driver was the problem. after that was uninstalled i could turn on my computer normally (with the exception that is was in low res mode) My Question is: what do i do from here? I looked all over online for a graphics driver for my card and couldn't find anything. Any help would be gladly appriciated Thanks in advance

you have a DOA (dead on arrival) graphics card i would call the manufacturer evga, asus, msi, gigabyte ect and tell the you bought a DOA card they should send a replacement or refund it you can also contact best buy and if that dose not work call nvidia hope this helps

Try downloading the driver directly from the nvidia website. Select geforce, geforce 600 series, geforce gt 610, your os.

Thanks for all the answers i found that my cd they gave didn't have updated drivers and it was for a different care since i bought the 2 gig version but they gave me the driver for the 1 gig one. Thanks again for the answers they were fast!
