Updating Drivers has made my GPU 'Disappear'

[Blacklightps2]

Well... With the release of TW: Atililla and it requesting that i update my graphics card, i decided to pop onto GeForce Exp and give me drivers an update. After updating and restarting, my computer did not start up in the ordinary 1920x1080 resolution... Wierd? Instead, i'm stuck with a 1600 resolution. I head back onto Geforce and it is asking me to install the drivers, not letting me access areas such as My Rig or SHIELD. So, i reinstall the drivers and restart my computer - no change. On the index score, it is saying new software detected yet giving the error: 'Cannot complete assessment. This is due to an error being reported from the operating system, driver, or other component'.

Many thanks
Harrison

Sounds like your driver update was corrupted. Try going to Device Manager and right click on the video device. There is an option to roll back the driver. You may be able to restore the previous driver. Another option is to use system restore which most likely created a restore point before the new driver was installed. Rolling back to it will also restore the previous driver. If either of those can not be done or you do not want to roll back, download a fresh version of the driver you want. Do not use the automatic driver update. Once you have the new driver uninstall the old one before installing the new. Check these out (http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_13955.html) and (http://www.nvidia.com/object/driver_rollback.html).
