Hello Experts!
So, I have a potato PC. Please you can giggle
Specs :
Core 2 Duo E7400
G31 Motherboard (All Drivers Up To Date)
4GB DDR2 RAM
ASUS GT 710 Silent (LOL FACTOR)
450W PSU

So, here is the issue
I am trying to install my graphics drivers and it installed after much effort
but what is happening now is that when I restarted my PC after the setup had finished and when it asked me to do so, after booting up the graphics don't just work !. The display resolution is very disturbing to see.
Means that, The drivers are installed, showing in the control panel but in device manager's display adapter's tab its showing "Standard VGA Display Adapter"
So, its not letting me to update from there too.
But sometimes, rarely (Like A Blood Moon). It shows that the drivers are installed when booted up but then after restarting its LOL (Drivers Not Installed)

Please tell me a fix
Please
Thanks In Advance!

Im working on that, there has been a way to manually install drivers (i used that on my R7 250).
Now in device manager right click on standard, select update, then browse my computer then search browse where you extracted NVIDIA WHQL , and in that folder select Display.Driver then select next you should wait for Windows to finish scanning the folder for suitable drivers. It will pick up the display driver, and install it on the machine. You should get a "Windows has successfully updated your drivers" notification in the end.This indicates that Windows has installed the new driver for the Nvidia graphics card, and will use it from that moment on.


Sorry i prolonged your days doing nothing.
I guess a good spirit has entered my pc who is not letting me do bad things
I have tried 3 times turning off my pc by using shut down and they offing the main power switch. And then by turning on the main switch and then the hitting the power button. The pc is working fine. But if I directly off it by the main switch as I always do (LoL) or turning off the pc but not turning off the main switch and again turning on the pc or if I restart. The spirit punishes me by the weapon called Standard VGA display adaptor!

Don't say sorry brother, it is hurting me
You have helped all the way long till now. And I guess due to your guiding only now my pc is doing half good.
I have installed the same way you said at the first. And it's working now when I diagnosed that what all is causing this error
Thanks for all the help!
