Hello!

I seem to have a small (annoying) problem after building my new rig. Roughly 1 in 4 times after a cold boot windows will not load the graphics drivers and displays "No supported hardware found" message in the lowest resolution/color settings. After simply restarting, it corrects itself everytime. Any suggestions here? Again it only happens on cold boots and a restart always fixes it. Thanks in advance!

Have you used DriverSweeper to remove previous versions before attempting to install another? If not, I suggest you clean out all Nvidia drivers with DriverSweeper, get the most current version directly from Nvidia, and try again.

If this fails, you GPU may be defective.
