That is the nuclear option. If you are sure you have done a true clean install of the 314 drivers that might be your final option.
You could try a manual clean install:
- Go into Windows Explorer and in the C: drive find the nVidia or Program Files > ATI folder (inside will be Drivers > your driver version) and delete it (the whole folder).
- Go into Start > Control Panel > Remove Programs and uninstall all programs for the video card. For nVidia, do PhysX and the Vision drivers first, then the main driver. The control panel will uninstall with the driver. For ATI, select “ATI Catalyst Install Manager” and click on “Change”, then “Uninstall All Components”.
- Restart the computer > go immediately into Safe Mode
- Run DriverSweeper to uninstall all video remnants Guru3D - Driver Sweeper . (install beforehand, of course)
- Restart the computer.
- When it reaches the desktop Windows will find new hardware and will install it's own WDDM1.1 driver. Let it. You will be asked to restart. Do it.
- Once back on the desktop you can now install the nVidia/ATI driver package for your card.
But here's the thing: instead of immediately installing the nVidia driver, run it on that generic Windows driver for a while. Just to see if the nVidia driver is the problem.
