So basically I had to format the drive due to a big issue which isn't important (needed one anyway) so I've formatted the drive and installed the drivers... all except the Nvidia graphics card which isn't even found on GPU-Z. It's a Clevo W230ST.

I have no clue what to do, when I run the driver it says the card was not found in the system. Anybody know how to get Nvidia optimus back and my graphics card back? It's only using the intergrated one at the moment...

I've used the drivers that came on the Clevo disk and installed them in order, but the Nvidia one just won't install and I don't know what to do.

That wouldn't be that hard at all, just go here Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update and then go to change settings and under the shield go to the drop down menu and select check for updates but let me chose which ones to install. but you would need to reformat again first

You need to do a driver sweep. Use driver sweeper, and let it take you into safe mode so it can get everything. Download it here: http://www.guru3d.com/files_get/display_driver_uninstaller_download,9.html

Remove Nvidia everything, checking all the boxes for removal. Then do the same thing for Intel display drivers as well (don't go crazy and manually remove Intel drivers, just Intel display drivers using the program linked above). After that (it will take a few restarts), you should be able to install the Nvidia drivers.
