I have a BIG problem. Yesterday I tried to install the latest GeForce drivers (337.88 for my gtx 650 ti 2GB) and the installation stopped partway through telling me "nVidia drivers installation failed" with a list of what was and what was not installed. I found that particularly bizarre since my drivers always installed normally. I tried a second time and at some point I saw the familiar drop in resolution and thought everything was OK.
That was far from true, though. My resolution was stuck at 800x600 and when I managed to raise it up to 1920x1080p as usual, the windows theme couldn't become semi-transparent as it used to be and my monitor's refresh rate looked very slow. There were also big black borders around the screen. I also tried o install my previous nVidia drivers (335.23 I think) and that was impossible, too.
That is not the worst part, though; what makes this whole situation worse is the fact that when I tried to use EVGA Precision X, an error message popped up saying "No supported hardware detected!", and GPU-Z didn't detect any graphics card. I double checked all my hardware was ok and even repositioned my CPU, RAM, HDD and VGA, as wall as all my cabling. The problem persisted. I tried to restore my system to a point before the installation of the drivers three times, but there was a windows error message saying that my antivirus stopped the operation or something of the sort, even though I completely uninstalled Microsoft Security Essentials.
What should I do? I am planning to format my PC and install windows 8.1, but I guess that can't fix any hardware problem. I serioulsy need help with this one, since I was planning to sell my GPU to a friend in a few weeks. Please answer as fast as possible, guys.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post.
