Why does my graphics card not have drivers when I open my pc?

Hi guys. In the past two days I open my pc and for 5 minute period or so my gtx 1070 doesn't have the driver installed for some reason. After 5 minutes the drivers are ok and everything runs nice. I am just wondering why this happens. Can someone explain to me? Thanks in advance.

Interesting situation, and I've never heard of anything similar before.

How is your OS install? New(er)? Or long-term?

I would suspect a dependency from another driver - are all motherboard/chipset drivers up-to-date?

Could that you've disabled certain "startup" items that impact the drivers ability to run - GeForce Experience etc, maybe? Just speculating here.

Yeah geforce experience doesn't open with windows startup but it opens after 5 minutes. This has happened to me before but it was fixed for all this time. Should I reinstall the drivers and geforce experience? Also take in account that I accidentally hit my case with my chair 2 days ago and this caused my pc to crash. When I opened it afterwards this problem occured. Thanks again.

I would reseat your GPU first of all - the knock may have moved it inside the PCIe slot so it's not 100% detected.... somehow?

Reinstalling the drivers (after fully remove with DDU) would be an option, but the fact it's happened before would lead me to suspect a hardware issue in some way.

Well this problem was occuring then because I hadn't updated the drivers for 2 months and once I updated them everything was fixed. This time is another case from the other one. I'll check if the card somehow moved from the knock and I will update you. Thanks again man I appreciate your help.
Edit: Sorry for delayed reply but I was busy. Well the problem is still occuring, I opened my pc I checked the card and there was nothing wrong with it. Take also in account that my ssd is not appearing in corsair link as it used to appear there. Any ideas?
