Make sure your motherboard BIOS is running the latest firmware.Make sure on-board graphics chipset is deactivated and BIOS is set to use current discrete video card as main.

Since you’re first time here, I’ll show you a sneak peek of how our early interview process looked like before we were hired: Such a phase.įortunately, my CPG team got the best and most qualified tech staffs in the world and together we were able to troubleshoot this problem in no time (2 years).

On the other hand, Windows being a difficult teenager, wouldn’t even bother to give a second try at the very certified driver that it has just directly obtained from the Windows Update itself.

It does not matter if it’s a GTX 460, GTX 570 or the new GTX 950, GTX 1080, etc. Several searches from Google and Bing return similar problem everywhere. The troubleshooting took places along with many of hours of frustration –where it should have been remedied by NVIDIA or Microsoft themselves in the first place. In a sudden flashback, I was pretty sure that this is karma serving justice at me for not letting that guy merge into my lane on i-95 last week. See, that totally sucks because if I ever wanted a random generic video card, I’d just use the integrated GPU and call it a great life rather than burning through a few $400’s for these GTX’s. I immediately got same log that read “ NVIDIA Installer failed” again –and none of the NVIDIA driver components were installed to replace the basic Window driver. So, like a true leader of the Dothraki and as a Skyrim survivor –I relaxed, took three deep breaths, stretched my fingers and hamstrings followed by a proper posture squat, I then fired up setup.exe again. It popped up right after the NVIDIA setup failed to install the drivers on several different high-end systems that I was working on for no apparent reason. So a long time ago, which was approximately about last week where bad luck arrived in three, I came across this fantastic error message you see over there.
