Hey everyone, here's a rundown of the issue:
Recently started, but in the last few weeks, my nVidia drivers keep seemingly disappearing from my PC.
Here's my specs:
CPU - Ryzen 7 1700
GPU - GTX 1080 (With a 970 in there as a physx card if needed)
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz
PSU - Corsair AX800i
Mobo - ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero
Windows 10 with 1803 update on a SanDisk SSD (120GB)
All other apps on 5TB HDD
Here's the weird thing, I've done a clean install, however I have not done a rollback, which I will do as soon as I've finished posting this. But even with the clean install of the latest driver, they seem to just randomly disappear.
I, at first, thought it was only when I restarted the PC, but I've learned today that it'll happen during runtime too. It was registering fine this morning, then a few movies later, I look at the GeForce EXP app and it shows my driver out of date and my control panel crashes when I start it up. No idea. A hardware issue shouldn't cause the driver to disappear, I wouldn't think. Bad hardware won't cause the driver to disappear. And my GPUs are still listed properly in my device manager.
Is this a bug with the new driver, perhaps? Does anyone else experience this? Or maybe this is an issue with the version of GeForce EXP version I have (which is the most recent)? I know a lot of people say not to use it, but it's useful for keeping track of when a driver update is required. And I know the device is working because I'm looking at my screen through it as I type this. But all my apps and games say that I have no 3D driver present when I try to start them up.
Can someone please give me an answer to this one. I'm about stumped if the driver rollback (with clean install) doesn't work, nor taking out the secondary GPU.
Any help is great!
Some additional info, I've also recently flashed the CMOS a couple times, if that makes any difference, as well as updated my bios to the latest, again, if that makes any difference. But that's another one of those things I wouldn't think would have an effect on Windows driver store.
