Nvidia Installer Failed, over and over

Griff_ · Mar 15, 2017

Ive had this problem in the past and have done everything at least i think in my powet to fix it. I tried to update my drivers on my gtx 970 not through geforce experience because that doesnt work either for me, but by going online and downloading it. The installer doesnt work it fails time and time again. I used a Ddu program to unistall all the old drives and when i try to download and install the new one it's a no go. Have had this problem in the past but now it is reall bothering because i have dual monitors and cant use them because of the issue. Help would be extremely apprciated. Thanks.
P.s how should i start to get into overclocking, what to do first?

Explain how the installer "doesn't work". What error are you seeing?
What is your operating system?
What path do you select to extract the drivers?
Do you choose "express" or "custom" install?
Are you selecting "Perform clean install"?

Are you running any sort of antivirus?

Where is the nvidia driver actually failing?

P.S. how to overclock:
Step 1. Have a working computer.

I had a similar problem, and finally fixed it today.

I used the DDU application to wipe the old drivers, but couldn't install the latest driver, it kept failing. The common issue MOST of the time was that permission was denied to write into C:NVIDIA or something like that. So, I found that folder, and discovered that there were several files there from the different failed drivers I tried to install (that the DDU app didn't erase). I trashed them, and then changed the permissions of the folder from read only to read and write. Then, FINALLY, the new install worked! Just to be on the safe side, I installed the previous version of the driver too, not the latest.

VincentP :

It fails when it tries ti install the driver, I have windows 10, I extract it into my ssd and I always choose custom install and also always perform a clean install.

All I'm running is Kaspersky Anti Virus

I'll have to try this when I get home, what files were you trashing so that I don't accidentally delete something really important?

Update: This didn't work the installer is still failing, even after I trashed all the files and did a clean install.

Trash all the nvidia files. Then clean install in case you missed something.

Try temporarily disabling it before installing the driver.

This didn't seem to work either.

Silly suggestion: on the off chance the download was corrupted, have you tried redownloading the required driver again?

Obakasama :

Yes I tried this multiple times still no go.

Had to end up re installing word. Finally fixed it and a lot of other problems with Windows itself not updating.
