Hi,

I was looking to eject my USB when I also found the option "eject GTX 970". I accidentally clicked it, my monitor went black and turnt back on and I thought it was fixed. I googled why the option popped up and everyone was saying that it was an issue with the new Nvidia driver and it allowed this option to pop up. Anyway, I thought it was alright until I launched Speccy (application to check what hardware you have) and also launched MSI Liveupdate, and MSI afterburner and all were not detecting the GTX 970. How do I fix this?

Thanks

That is a rather interesting glitch for a driver. I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing happening before.

You could try shutting down, removing the 970, powering up, then shutting down, putting the 970 back in, powering up, and seeing if it gets recognized. You may want to uninstall the graphics drivers completely before putting the card back in just to be sure.

Option 1: Boot in safe mode and resolve the issue
Option 2: Go top bios and change the display preference to on board once start, and again off and go to bios again and select graphics as PCIx card and on and try
