Hey everyone, I have a GTX 970 graphics card and windows 10 64 bit. So on the task bar there's a button that says "safely remove hardware and eject media." There's an option to eject my graphics card, which I thought was weird. I just ignored the button to eject my card figuring it would probably cause problems if I hit it. Well, I was trying to eject a usb flash drive and I accidentally ejected my graphics card. :( So did I mess up my system or does the graphics card automatically reconnect itself?

    This was an issue in an older driver several months ago. I believe it had something to do with adding. 'Thunderbolt 3' external GPU access. It's doesn't cause any harm. But I'm surprised to see you still have this if you're using a recent driver. If your system does act strange, a reboot should cure that.

    Report the problem to nvidia. You file a bug report here.

    Yep that's a bug. Use the last driver that works for you.
