[SOLVED] NVIDIA Drivers fail to install

[Lrman]

I really dont get this... everytime I try to install new Nvidia drivers it fails. I basically rebuild my whole pc with new parts and a new graphics card, still get this issue. Does anyone know why this happens?

What are the specs for this system (make/model of all installed components)?

Is this the same system with the riser cable from your most recent thread?

Yes this is the same one with the riser cable. Do you think I need a new riser cable is it shot or something?

I'm just wondering if that cable is the issue. Have you tried DDU to remove current drivers (not that you should have to)?

I havent on this current build but I did on the last build and that didnt seem to fix it. Idk maybe ill try a new riser cable since they arent that expensive. Just weird though cause after I rebuild with the new parts my drivers installed normally for like a week now its giving me issue again.

Of course you are installing as administrator (or from an administrator account). Right?

Yeah, that cable has me ol' spidey senses tingling for some reason and I know you can't mount the GPU directly to the motherboard (IIRC).

Yeah I used administrator, so I got a new riser cable and they installed first try... I guess that riser cable has just been causing all sorts of issues. So annoying!!! At least its fixed, I hope at least we will see.

That seemed the logical issue. Hope it stays "fixed".

An update on this. I actually continued to have issues and it turned out that my CPU had been fried and was causing issues. Replaced the CPU and the computer was fine.
