Hi emmett82,

Please let us know what is the error you received while trying to install the driver update for the system.

First of all manually remove the drivers from the system by following the link below:

Uninstall Graphics Drivers

Then use driver sweeper to remove any left over driver files:

Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Restart the system and then download the drivers from the link below:

Drivers | GeForce

Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.

thats the thing it gives no error code it just said failed also i resolved it with a fresh install

Have you tried using GeForce Experience? Provided your GPU is a supported model that program keeps your drivers up to date for you automatically. Unfortunately I can't link to it from work but a quick Google will take you straight to it.

I use Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit and have a Galaxy 760 card and was trying to upgrade to 344.11 and kept getting
the 'Nvidia installer failed' message. After reading forum after forum and running DriverSweeper, Safe Mode, going

into the registery and deleteing anything that referenced Nvidia, trying to install older versions even the one I

was using previously, 'Run as Administrator', manually installing the driver through the 'Device Manager', the

driver in Windows update wouldn't install either . Nothing worked so after several days of reading forums and trying

everything I could think of I was about ready to yank the card out and throw it in the trash and go buy an Radeon.

What finally worked for me was I thought I would go into Run/msconfig and see what programs were running and

possibly preventing the driver from installing. I noticed on the 'General Tab' 'Selective startup' was selected so I

thought I would try 'Normal startup' and after rebooting I was able to install the driver with no problems.

Hopefully this will help someone.
