So what is the problem?

 

[daymare1]

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.

 

[daymare1]

i just downloaded driversweeper but its not working

 

[Crispy]

More info why its not working man?

 

[Frostmourne]

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.

 

[daymare1]

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

 

[daymare1]

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/win7 before but now i cant since the install of my windows 7. how does my xp suddenly disapear from the bootscreen?
