Drivers are not installed on the video card. Failed to install NVIDIA software, what should I do?

When installing drivers, sometimes incidents occur that interfere with the operation of the Windows system. And naturally, to solve this or that problem, you need to know some technical subtleties. And as an example, we will now deal with the problem of why Nvidia drivers are not installed. To be more precise, let's talk about possible problems related to driver installation.

Of course, this issue is relevant, since the above company is one of largest producers video cards And now I will tell you the most popular types of problems and problems, which, as a rule, are the root of the problem when installing the Nvidia driver.

Note: there is an article on the blog: “”, it is possible that you will find the answer to your question in it.

Install the required driver

First, make sure you download a driver that supports your Windows operating system. To download the driver you need to go to the manufacturer’s official website, which is located.

Next, you need to indicate the model of your video card, as well as what system you will install the driver on. If you specify the wrong model or a different operating system, you will have difficulty installing the Nvidia driver. After selection, click the “Search” button.

After this, information for downloading the driver will appear. To be sure that you are downloading required driver, go to the "Supported Products" tab and find your video card in the list.

Be sure to turn everything off antivirus programs, V background work they should not be there, this again may interfere with the installation process. It is worth paying attention to what account you are about to install the driver. If you are logged in as a guest or under ordinary user, then log in with administrator privileges, otherwise installation will not be possible.

Removing a valid driver

If you could not install the driver, then try uninstalling it, go to “Start” - “Control Panel” and select “uninstall a program”. If you are installing for the first time, you do not need to remove the driver.

We look in the list provided for all the names in which the word Nvidia appears in any way. We delete this whole thing and reboot.

Attention! If you bought a video card and connected it to your computer, you need to wait while Windows tries to install the driver. After his attempts, you can now proceed with the installation.

Open the downloaded file. Click on it right click mouse and select "Run as administrator". Click OK.

Then follow the installation wizard and agree to the license. This concludes the list of essential actions. If you cannot install the driver and naturally do not understand why the Nvidia drivers are not installed, then the situation is a little more complicated, as it might seem at the beginning. But there are some ways to solve this problem.

Solving the problem in one go

First of all, download a program called Driver Swepper via the Internet. It is extremely clear, as they say - there is nothing superfluous in it. And the meaning of its work is that it clears all remaining tails from previous deleted drivers.

When installing the program, uncheck the box to not install Hamster Free Zip Archiver.

For the program to be in Russian, click Language on the left, then select “Russian” on the right side of the program. To apply the changes, click on the “Apply” button.

Now it will be more clear to you. To remove drivers, click "Analysis and Cleanup". Find the Nvidia driver on the right side of the window, then click “Analyze”.

Take a look at what files this program is going to delete. If everything is fine, then click “Cleaning”. Next, you will be asked to restart your computer, which is what you do.

If you have not yet downloaded the driver for your video card, then this is the time to do it. Try installing the driver. Installation still not going well? It's okay, because there are still charges! ;).

I wanted to write at the very beginning, but after thinking a little, I decided that if I offer you to disassemble system unit and check the video card to see if it sits tightly in its connector, you would most likely shake your head and not do it. After much torment that we went through above, I think now you understand that if these recommendations did not help, then you should take my advice. Disassemble the system unit, remove the video card, you can vacuum the video card connector a little, and then insert it back.

Attention! The vacuum cleaner does not need to touch the computer and internal devices.

Well, I left the hardest part for last. Now you need to go to “Device Manager” and look at the equipment ID. To do this, right-click on your computer and select “Manage.”

Click "Device Manager" on the left. Then a list of all devices on the computer will appear on the right.

In “Video Adapters”, find your video card, right-click on it and select “Properties”.

In the window that opens, go to the “Details” tab and select “Equipment ID”. Information will appear below. Do not close this window, this data will be useful to us now.

To see where the driver is unpacked, run the driver installation file. Now go to this folder.

Save this file, and then you can try installing the driver. To do this, run the setup.exe file.

There is a video on the Internet, although English language, but it’s detailed and visual, I think you won’t have any questions.

And that's all I have for today. When I started writing the article, I thought it would work out twice and told me, but in fact, some of the nuances lie deeper than we think. I sincerely hope that you had a chance to read the conclusion with either successfully installed or installing new Nvidia drivers! I would be grateful if you write in the comments what methods helped you. It will be very useful for other readers.

Why, when installing or updating drivers for a video card, an error appears notifying that the installation of NVIDIA software was unsuccessful. How to fix it and successfully install the required software, read below in this article.

An antivirus or firewall is blocking the installation

This applies in particular to ESET antivirus NOD32. Sometimes it happens that it simply blocks the NVIDIA installation package.

There may be several ways to solve this:

1. Add the installer to exceptions.
2. Completely disable or remove the antivirus.
3. If you have a firewall enabled, then disable it as well.

After this, try installing the software again. In most cases, this helps solve the problem. However, if this method didn't help you, let's move on.

operating system

Another reason why software cannot be loaded NVIDIA Experience– interruptions in the operation of the OS or errors in system files. The problem can be solved by simply updating the system to latest version, during which all damaged files to work and the operating capacity of the OS will be restored.

For this it is necessary:

After the process is completed, you need to restart your PC and reinstall the NVIDIA software.

If the problem persists and you still see a message that the installation failed software, let's move on to the third point.

Reinstalling drivers

Also, during installation, previous software may interfere. In this case, it is recommended to completely get rid of the old software and only after that install the new one. The process is quite simple and even a beginner can handle it.

For this it is necessary:

This way we will get rid of this error.

Detailed video instructions

Hello friends! In today's article we will figure out why, in some cases, after reinstalling the operating systemDrivers are not installed on the video card. This question is very interesting and is often asked in the comments on our website, “they say we reinstalled the operating system, but we can’t install the driver for the video card (it’s probably broken).” Most often this applies to laptops with switchable Intel graphics+ATI. We generally cannot install drivers on video cards. AMD Radeon HD 6xxxM series and Radeon HD 7xxxM series, but if you have NVIDIA video card, then everything said below also applies to you.To better understand the essence of the problem, we will publish one letter from our reader.

• Hello remontcompa! The question is this. Lenovo G770 laptop, reinstalled the Windows 7 operating system, the installation was successful, then I entered the Device Manager and realized that I would have to tinker with the drivers. I downloaded all the drivers from the official website http://www.lenovo.com/ru/ru/ , the drivers were installed successfully except for the driver for the video card. As you can see in the screenshot, I have two video cards on my laptop,

this is the so-called switchable Intel graphics+ ATI, that is, an integrated video card from Intel (Intel HD Graphics) and a discrete AMD Radeon HD 6700M.

In other words, my laptop supports the function of switching video cards. With applications that do not require high power running energy saving graphics Intel processor, and high-performance graphics work with games and other energy-intensive programs AMD processor Radeon HD 6700M.
I install the driver according to your article, download the utility automatic installation AMD Driver Autodetect drivers, but at the very beginning of the driver installation this error appears.
Can't load AMD program Catalyst Mobility due to its incompatibility with the hardware or software on your computer.
Version graphics adapter your computer is not supported. Contact your laptop manufacturer to update your graphics driver..

According to your article, I downloaded the driver for the video card manually, but when installing it, I also get this error.

Why are drivers not installed on the video card and what to do in this situation, is the Windows 7 operating system licensed?

Drivers are not installed on the video card

Just yesterday, one of my friends brought me almost the same laptop to work and immediately asked: “Listen, uncle, Why are drivers not installed on the video card?, because all components have drivers, and AMD video card No Radeon, I reinstalled Windows several times, I didn’t download drivers from anywhere, in short, help me out.”
Let's help out my friend, and at the same time learn how to deal with this common mistake. Such a mistake" Can't load program AMD Catalyst Mobility due to its incompatibility with the hardware or software on your computer" you can get when installing a driver on an AMD Radeon video card, and it doesn’t matter if you have a laptop or a simple one desktop computer. The whole point here is this. Drivers must be installed in in the right order, by the way, this is written about on all the websites of laptop manufacturers, take at least the same Lenovo.
" It is recommended to install the chipset driver first, then other drivers. internal devices such as the Ethernet adapter, audio device, video adapter, and finally external device drivers."

That's the whole secret. Some readers may ask - What are these “Chipsets?” These, friends, are nothing more than drivers for the chipset motherboard, and this is a basic driver, if you do not install it first, drivers for other components of the laptop may simply not be installed (as in our case) or they will be installed, but these devices will not always work well and reliably, for example, the sound will periodically disappear or it will be quiet, and devices connected to USB ports will not always be detected, and so on.

More than once I have heard the wrong opinion even experienced users, that “there are drivers for the mother in Windows itself”, they are there, but how ancient are they, these drivers?

• Note: most fresh driver on the motherboard chipset you can, in our case Intel. You may also find our articles on this topic useful.

In our case, first of all we will install driver for motherboard chipset, second thing is to install the driver for built-in graphics card Intel HD Graphics, and only then install Driver for AMD Radeon HD 6700M video card.

We have a Lenovo G770 laptop, so we go to the website http://www.lenovo.com/ru/ru/. Select Support and Drivers.

Drivers and software,

Enter G770 and press Enter on the keyboard,

The driver page opens. First of all, left-click on the item Chipset

and open it. Intel Chipset driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo G770 is the driver for the chipset of our motherboard. Click for files.

Download now. Download the driver and start the installation.

After the installation is complete, open the Display and Video Graphics item, select Intel Onboard Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit) - Lenovo G770 Notebook (these are the drivers for the built-in video card from Intel (Intel HD Graphics) for our operating system Windows systems 7 (64-bit). Click for files.

Download now. Install the driver for the integrated graphics.

And only now, friends, we got to the driver for our AMD Radeon HD 6700M video card. Here we can go two ways. First, download the driver here, select AMD Video Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo G770, click for files.

AMD Video Driver Download Now.

Download and install the driver for our AMD Radeon HD 6700M video card. No errors. The driver is installed.

Secondly, you can go to our website ATI video cards:

And download automatic installer drivers AMD Driver Autodetect. Technology automatic search drivers from AMD determines your video card and operating system, and if a new driver is available, you need to press just one AMD Driver Autodetect button and the driver download and installation process will immediately begin.

But often with its help it is not possible to establish the most new driver to your video card and we will receive the error “Unable to load AMD Catalyst Mobility program” Why? Friends, I tried to figure this out many times, but then I noticed that on the same laptops this AMD Driver Autodetect either starts or doesn’t, most likely the error lies in it itself.

But you can always install the driver on the video card by downloading it manually; this is described in detail in our article “How to install the ATI video card driver” (link at the beginning of the article). Let's do this again together. Let's go to the AMD video card download center:

http://support.amd.com/ru-ru/download. If we need a driver for a video card AMD laptop Radeon HD 6700M, select Notebook Graphics, if you have a simple computer, select Desktop Graphics, then series, product model and operating system, then press the DISPLAY RESULTS button (view the result).

The first is a verification tool - AMD Mobility Radeon™ Driver Verification Tool, which will give the result of compatibility of the driver we download and our operating system. If you are sure that you have chosen the right driver, then click just below Download and download your driver, then install.

Well, friends, we have sorted out the question of why drivers are not installed on the video card modern laptop with switchable video.
If you get your hands on Lenovo laptop, then you can install all the other drivers on it in exactly the same way: sound, webcam, card reader, TouchPad, network driver, WI-FI and so on.

Description: Drivers for a video card are also by no means unimportant, especially if you are a gamer.

First of all, nvidia drivers significantly improve the visualization and performance of the system in terms of video, images, etc.

In particular, keep an eye on new versions this software needed not only by gamers, but also, for example, by 3D designers.

That is, update system support It’s worth it even if you are the most primitive user and do nothing but surf the Internet and watch videos on.

This way you improve the picture quality on your device.

What are Nvidia drivers?

What exactly is it? This is the same program as hundreds of others on your computer.

You just don’t see its work - all processes are carried out in offline mode.

True, when you have just purchased new video card, and the image on your PC is far from ideal, you begin to think that you should probably install something.

It is the drivers that ensure stable and coordinated operation.

They are kind of assistants that show your OS what to do and how. In fact, this same software controls the visualization processes.

In general, updates to video cards are worth downloading for the following reasons:

• power improves GPU especially if you purchased it relatively recently (then the effect is very noticeable);
• The operation of the energy consumption system is improved by reducing the heating of the internal components of the computer. For a laptop, this also means increased work without a network connection. In addition, the noise of coolers becomes less noticeable;
• playback, video processing and work with graphic elements it gets faster and better.

Drivers are needed for any operating systems, but, of course, there will be some features of their installation on different OSes. And, unfortunately, the list of errors will also be different.

How to install?

• automatically - this mainly happens with USB drives. For efficient work installs the necessary software and you can use your device.
• via disk - the package often includes a disk with all the necessary programs. True, now not all laptops have a disk drive. In this case, you should contact the last method presented below.
• using the Internet - go to the official website of your video card. There should definitely be a special section where you can update your computer. The only thing is to ask in advance what series and model your device has. Downloading “foreign” software can lead to various troubles.

In general, what takes the most time is downloading the updated software, checking the version and model of your own.

So installation after all these machinations seems easier than ever. The procedure is typical.

How can I figure out what kind of video card I have?

The easiest way to check this is using Device Manager.

To get there, right-click on "My computer", "Properties" .

In the tab that opens you will find the same dispatcher. In that menu there will be a section “Video adapters”, where the name and model of your video card will be displayed.

Based on this, you can safely download updated software. The main thing is to avoid fraudulent sites, it is better to download everything from official resources.

In the case of Nvidia, go to the company's website.

There will be a special section called “Drivers”.

You can select the required model manually or perform an auto search. You can download updates not only on, but also on.

In the case of products Apple this method will not work.

By the way, to keep up with technical progress, you can subscribe on the Nvidia page for alerts.

They will be sent to you by email when a new version of the software is released specifically for your video card.

Before proceeding with installation, make sure of the following:

• you have disabled utilities like “download accelerator”;
• you have disabled your antivirus (make sure it doesn't just go to background mode)
• you deleted previous drivers via the control panel.

These few steps will help you save your nerves during and after installation.

For example, an antivirus that is not disabled is sometimes the culprit of an installation error. So it’s better not to disdain preventive methods.

Nvidia Forceware Display Driver

And yet let's consider more detailed work with the installer.

It will appear after running the downloaded exe installer. Do not click too many times in a row; if a new window does not appear immediately, wait a little.

Afterwards, the program will specify where you would like to save the unpacked installation .

Usually this is a temporary option; you will not need it after installation.

In addition, the program itself can provide you with a potential place. It’s better to remember it so you don’t have to look for it later.

Moreover, there will be almost a gigabyte of data in the folder. And, in fact, no one needs this data later. Feel free to delete them after installation Nvidia updates.

As a rule, unpacking the installation archive takes no more than five minutes.

This will automatically launch the ForceWare Installation Wizard.

He will check the compatibility of the system to avoid serious problems in the future. The procedure also does not last long. Upon completion, accept license agreement.

By the way, if you did not download the drivers from the official website, take note that these updates are absolutely free.

Don’t fall for scammers if they ask you for money for installation.

What could go wrong

Of course, not a single work process is complete without problems and errors.

Development of new software including.

Often after graduation new version drivers have to deal with various complaints. Let's take a look at what users encounter most often.

The most common problems with outdated drivers:

• The installed game does not open;
• the computer turns off with a “blue screen of death”;
• Programs and games constantly crash;
• I can’t connect the TV via HDMI or another connector;
• The laptop does not turn off, and it is also impossible to go into sleep mode.

Basic Nvidia drivers errors

The error “NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver has stopped responding” has come across at least once to every gamer.

This is usually due to overload. This is what causes the computer to not work.

A problem occurs either during the game or at the very beginning.

However, there are also strange cases when you just watch the movie, essentially, and don’t touch anything. And then the movie show ended with an error with the driver version.

There are several options to solve this problem.

One of them is software update. That is, remove all previous drivers and install the one you need again. You can play it safe and install previous version which worked fine for you.

You can also try updating DirectX. It is already vital for gamers; the game certainly won’t work without it.

Now watch when the error occurs. If the game is loading at the beginning, then most likely you need to update DirectX.

It is better to download DirectX only from Microsoft, which is also the official source.

This way you minimize the risk of harming your computer. In addition, this software is usually located in the folder installed games. It's called "Redist".

Nvidia windows kernel mode driver

Nvidia “windows” video driver error kernel mode driver” is already many times more serious.

It speaks not only about any malfunctions in the program, but also about overheating and video card failure.

Recline last option You can only look at the video card board. Carefully remove it, blow out the contacts, wipe it and put it back in place.

Download and install a program to check the temperature of your video card.

If your number is below 80 °C, you can calm down. Everything is okay. If the temperature is higher, check the thermal paste. Maybe it's time to change it.

Most often, physical damage is the cause of such an error.
