Nvidia Card Trouble

[Joseph_159]

Hey guys i have a gtx 970.
i went on holidays and when i left everything was running fine.
I returned and when i started my pc it was in 800x640, the screen resolution. I tried to change it in display settings however it said it cant be done. So i assumed this was because of a nvidia update. I checked and there was an update. I updated and it said i have to restart my computer. clicked restart and its still in 800x640 and i cant change it. Also whenever i restart when nvidia asks me to i get a windows notification saying your display driver has been updated please restart. Each time i restart it doesnt seem to be fixing it and i keep receiving the message. The vga side of the graphics card is working and i also plugged in my old gpu and it worked just fine. (amd)

Could someone help me?

I'd download and run DDU and wipeout the Nvidia drivers and software then reinstall the driver. When running DDU use the safe mode option.

 

[Joseph_159]

do you have a link to where to download it

i used the DDU and it my resolution was fine, i then reinstalled the nivida drivers and everything was fine. Geforce experience however says theres no drivers and makes me download and install everything i just did, it then says restart and when i restart im back to the 800x600 resolution. Should i just not update on geforce so my resolution is normal?

Yeah , if the geforce experience update is messing with things ignore it.

i restarted my pc after ignoring the geforce experience and its back to 800x600. My gpu is running properly as its game performance is bad

is not running properly*

Is it possible to try the card in another system? It's possible it's failing.

not really as of right now. when the pc is in 800x600 in device manager it does say the 970 is reporting a problem
