I still got that error it only dose it when I update it

does anybody know what the 450 sc video card driver keeps on messing up i constantly have to uninstall. force a shut down and reinstall the stupid driver! this is driveing me nuts please help!

I'd just uninstall Driver Sweeper, and install the new version of it.  It's a lot simpler.  Takes me 2 mins when I update it.
 
Just as a side note to the main topic of this thread.  You can go into safe mode, uninstall the Nvidia driver and software before using Driver Sweeper.  That should eliminate a few steps in the MP's summary of steps.  The reason why you kinda need to be in safe mode when uninstalling the old driver is because you still have Nvidia files/processes in use.

Reinstall windows.

Like the work Donta. Is there been updates to the orginal page given the changes to the way NVIDIA now do their updates? Or have I missed a "Last Updated" somewhere?

I can add it in but like windows update just because nvidia comes out with a new driver does not mean you need it, or it is good, I keep the nvidia update off myself.

Having an issue installing my EVGA 450 GTS.

System Specs:
-Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H
-AMD Phenom IIX processor
-16 GB 1333mhz GSKILL RAM

I have installed the physical card into the PCI-E X16 slot on the mother board.  I have installed the pin connector and the 3 pin power connectors, the card is getting power since the fan is spinning.  Every time I connect the monitor to the card, it shows up blank, nothing.  I then connect it to the mother board video connector and it works.  When I try to install the drivers, it says that no compatible hardware has been found.  I just bought this card a couple of days ago.

psu?
Did you try to bring it back and get a replacement?

5/6/7/8/9/200/400/500/600 Series Trouble Shooting/Updating/Install Guide for Drivers
This works with XP/Vista/Win 7 32/64bit operating systems
Ok first thing is go to Phyxion and get Driver Sweeper
Driver Sweeper from

Vista and Windows 7
1. Of course download the Latest Drivers for your gpu & get Driver Sweeper
or

2. You next have three options going into Device Manager->Display Adapters RMB on your video card
and uninstalling Drivers click the box to remove software, or going into Add and Remove Programs / Programs and Features
and uninstalling the driver from there. Or you can run the new installer run a custom setup and make sure you have
Clean Install checked but doing this method can leave things behind in the registry, that may or may not cause issues.

3. In Add and Remove Programs / Programs and Features make sure you uninstall NVIDIA PhyX System Software,
NVIDIA Update, NVIDIA 3D VISION Driver & Software pretty much everything releated to your gpu.

4. Restart your computer after the post screen press F8 and boot into safemode, then run driver sweeper
as admin. Only selection options for nvidia display drivers, physx.

5. Reboot

6. Run the installer for the Drivers for your gpu, I would suggest running a custom installer, checking clean install
Only select drivers your going to use, if you your not using the gpu's audio, its 3d vision, I would not letting those
drivers install and disabling them in the custom install.

7. I would suggest rebooting after this Happy Gaming.

Suggestion, during the driver install going into the device manager and disabling the High Definition Audio
device. This is the cards audio for HDMI, if your not using HDMI for sound disable it. I know on EVGA motherboards with realtek
the two can not get along. Also you may want to reinstall your audio drivers on an evga board after installing/updating/fixing your
drivers.

Never Let Microsoft Windows Update/install drivers on your pc


600 Series Overclocking
Read this Guide from
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heat: If your video card is running way too hot you may want to get one of the Utilities below to setup
a custom fan profile or just control your gpus fan manually.

EVGA Precision
"600 Series Owners"
EVGA Precision X
EVGA OC Scanner X
To rev up your fans. Also for Overclocking. For EVGA Customers here is Precision, Great app for those of you who have not used it.

Not an EVGA Customer get or

Use fan profiles with Precision This will help keep your cards cool as long as you have good airflow and decent ambient temps.

I suggest trying to keep your gpu under or around 70c at full load. It should give it a longer lifespan.
-------------------------------------GPU STILL HOT? ----------------------------------------------
Make sure you have good airflow/a good airflow case, make sure your hardware is clean and free of dust bunnies, there is an example
below on how a gpu can get clogged

Also See attached image in this post.


TIM aka Thermal Interface Material/Thermal Paste
I have found the folling tims to work at least for me on particular gpus and their heatsinks. Most TIM degrades over time with heat, seen it happen most with factory tim it can wear down in 6-8 months to years depending on temps/factory application of the TIM.
200 series and below Artic Silver 5, MX 2, MX 4,
400 Series: IC Diamond esp on the 480's or MX 2, MX 4,
500 Series: MX 2, MX 4, CM Thermalfusion 400" on the vaporchambers works great." only on smooth surfaces
600 Series: Have not played with yet


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Say No to Ntune knowing is half the battle
If your using an older socket 775 motherboard just dont use it I am sure most are on newer hardware now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something else to try: Check all the connections inside your rig, power cables, hard drive cables you name it, also check to make sure your hardware cpu, ram, video card are seated in correctly. Make sure your NB is not blowing hot air directly into your video card if so find a way to move that hot air out of their fast.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helpful Hint on Gaming Slow Downs if Running 2 or more Monitors: If your running any video card that you can plug two monitors into and actually have 2 monitors plugged into one video card. And your games are running slow, or have some lag in them, unplug a monitor! Trust me this will save you a lot of time and effort.


------------------------Cheap Effective GPU Cooler For Any Series of GPU's--------------------------
This is very simple to make it takes a good pci slot fan cooler, some quick steel "at Target Walmart, a hardware store or you can use any type of epoxy putty", a good High powered 120mm fan 90CFM+. The picture is pretty much Self Explanatory on how to construct. I was able to get my 8800 Ultra up to 700 Core clock linked with this. Great little cheap thing to make for someone When you cannot afford a heavy duty aftermarket cooler for their gpus.
This is old and outdated but have used it on 400/500 series cards still works great.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Cooler in use, does not look snug due to camera angle of my notebooks built in webcam




This is from my old old setup and is a bit messy but you get the idea

Those of you with a bit more cash on hand want to have something that looks better in their computer but takes up two slots
or search for stores on a search engine to get it cheaper.

You will need to open it up and flip the fans around you can also change them out fully with some 120mm 90 CFM fans. Also if your doing sli have a big enough case to have two make sure your second card has a backplate so the metal of this does not make contact of the pcb of your second card.

Excellent guide.

Very Nice of ya Donta.

cool

Please forgive me if I am at the wrong location, I am new to Forms, and don't normally post on Forms at all, but I am having issues with my GT570 EVGA... and I cannot find any location, or contact details for tech support or advise, and if I search via Google, I end up at all sorts of forms, with regard to Nvidia drivers... but I want to ask EVGA.
 
in short... My system reboots everytime as soon as the "logon" screen should appear on startup....(just after the Splash logo of win7)
 
I am running win7 64bit. 6g ram, I7 chip...cant remember by motherboard model now, but its high spec...so not an entry level board.
 
I NOTICED, and basically FOUND the problem, but I am not sure how to get pass it.
Its when I install updated drivers for my NVidia.  I am basically forced to run 314v driver....anything higher than that causes my system to bounce.
 
I must admit, upon finding THIS site, and forms, I saw that EVGA site also has their driver section, and I will try to install the latest driver noted on here, The drivers I used is what I downloaded from NVidia site as what I was doing in the past.
 
any advice or heard anything similar to this before?
 
Thanks

the phxion link now forwards to driver fusion, new company name, i downloaded the free version and my virus protection reported it contains pup.optional.opencandy ad/spyware, which is said to be very difficult to get rid of.
 
PLUS, every time I visit this forums.evga.com  website my protection says it blocks an outbound signal to xvisionstudio.com  which apparently has something to do with adult porn
 
god, can't trust anybody anymore
