So what is the problem?

well at startup a popup error says "Can not find graphics card information.". so i cant watch any videos, play games because another popup. Device manager for the card says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

edit:
forgot to mention my sound volume has gone extremely low

Here is some info about Code 43: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725873(WS.10).aspx what I would do is download this: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper it cleans left over files that is left over when you uninstall graphic card drivers, then reinstall the drivers that you are using.

i just downloaded driversweeper but its not working

More info why its not working man?

You should clean install the retail version - have you cleaned out the drivers in safe mode then installed the new drivers in safe mode? Use the drivers guide in my sig.

i cleaned all the nvidia ones and then restarted.
after i updated to the latest one again . restarted.
same problem as before still.

i will try it in safe mode now

Hey guys , im having this problem. fresh install of windows 7 and driver updates while in safe mode does not work. does anyone know if my motherboard can actually handle this card?

Also. i've had my comp dual boot xp/Windows 7 before but now i cant since the install of my windows 7. how does my xp suddenly disapear from the bootscreen?

Welcome to seven forums daymare1 we'll need mb info. Please fillin system specs like this. Thanks
