When I go to update driver tab, it says I have the best one available in. I have the 310.90 version driver sitting on my desktop, I install it, it does a bunch of stuff, screen flickers, says its done instaling, but it is not listed in device manager. I have disabled it, I have uninstalled it, rebooted a 100 times..reinstalled card. it Never shows up as installed. When I log on and go to BF3 I start loading map...I log in the game opens for 1 sec. and closes. I have shut off my fire wall. disabled my anti virus.. I have tried to enter my bios to check settings, cant I hit F2 and this SSD drive just loads windows.. I will be on Teamspeak today, hoping someone who is good at this can help.

If it does then you at least eliminate the slot being a bad slot for sure! If it doesn't then it has to be one of 2 things. Either there is no power getting to it or something is broken between the power source and the card. Yet you said you can see the card being in the device manager. So that more or less eliminates there is no power getting to it. Did you do a re-partition when you installed win7 64? Just curious how you did the re-installing of win 7 64?

I know this is off topic a bit but it might help someone. I radeons removal tool and driver sweeper but drivers wouldn't load properly. Ended up booting in safe mode and deleted all ATI folder by hand. Only then did drivers load properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the site you want to go to when looking for the latest and greatest GeForce drivers - http://www.geforce.com/drivers Don't do the automatic detection. It needs to run Java, which you should have disabled in your browser anyway. Just use the manual search options and specify everything you have using the drop-down lists they provide. That will get you to the right driver. And just to reiterate a point he makes, always - even if updating from one version of GeForce driver to the next - perform a "clean install" which is a checkbox you check after selecting to do a custom install. Don't change any options other than that for the custom install. All the other settings will give you all you need, but the "clean install" option is not selected by default. Darth Yoda - Radeon drivers are totally messed up where removal is concerned. Don't know about Win7, but on an XP box I just replaced an ATI card with a GrForce card, I found entries for the driver, a control panel app, and an un-installation tool. Apparently, you are supposed to "remove" (through the XP Add/Remove Programs control panel applet) the un-installer which will uninstall the suite of drivers and associated programs. I removed the associated programs first, so "removing" the uninstaller threw an initialization error. Grrrrrrr! Idiots. The drivers still uninstalled anyway. BUT, I installed the new GeForce card, then installed it's driver after downloading from the aforementioned website (while in an ugly low-res display state,) and finally went after tossing out the ATI stuff.

It Corrupted the Following drivers, Graphics (Video card) driver,Sound card driver,Network driver and it would not even let me install the SATA drivers or Raid Monitoring utilities that I use. After Installing .NET FrameWork it let me install my NIC driver and all 164 windows updates without a hiccup. It's a good thing that I downloaded the Redistributable copy of .NET Framework and burnt it to disk or I would of been screwed.I have 2 older versions of Windows 7 64 without SP1.It doesn't have drivers for the newer Intel NIC. I almost reinstalled the whole OS again after it corrupted those drivers but Managed to get Driver Sweeper to run and reinstalled the drivers.
