The first thing I recommend is trying this: DDU
Within the instructions it will give you an option to disable Windows updating of the drivers. That option has helped a lot of people. There is one other workaround that I actually needed to do in order to get my 950 working on my desktop at work, but I cannot seem to find the process... I'll keep looking. I didn't have any issues with my 980's on my home rig... but I know some people that did... again, DDU worked for most.

Thanks, i tried that program once, not sure if it actually blocked the updating or not as i just skimmed and clicked it away after deleting the drivers.
But i also tried installing the graphic card driver that i saved on my harddrive several times after a fresh install, without being connected to the internet or having the wireless adapter installed, i assume that would also be enough to not have windows update interfere? Curious about the other process.

I'm still digging... I thought that I had saved a bookmark on the process but apparently I did not so now I'm trying to run searches tied to the issue to see if any familiar links come out, but no joy so far. I'll keep looking though to see what I can find.

Oh damn, in this case it will be a bitch. Get rid of all official drivers with DDU. Run a Windows Update and pray it'll find a display driver among it and install it. If you are lucky, the card will be properly recognised and you can install the NVidia drivers normally.
If not, then you pretty much have to play the game we used to play with NVidia drivers back then. They had the tendency to have about one in six to actually work. Go back about 6-10 versions or so and try to install that one. Install every newer one, one by one. Eventually it should work. Last time I had to do this at a friend, I spent over 90 minutes doing this until I managed to make that damn thing to work. It was almost as bad as getting a working AMD driver for Linux.

A real bitch that i spend pretty much a whole day on so far.
When windows is looking and trying to install the driver it says driver installed sucessfully etc, then when you restart the pc it still shows the exclamation mark.
I think the latest is about 362 or something, i tried that, 360, 350 and even a 340 from i believe 2014.
Either i was very unlucky choosing the bad ones or it is something else.

Pretty much all mobos have built-in graphics for several years now. The most extreme thing you may try is to install windows with the GPU removed, only on on-board graphics, then put the card back in after it was installed. This skips the probability of the installation using faulty/incorrect drivers, so you can find the proper ones later.

I'm coming up empty handed on the fix I implemented... I want to be certain it is the correct one because it involves admin permission settings...
Just the same, have you looked into this solution... it keeps coming up in most of my queries. I personally do not have the software myself... but in the event you do this could be helpful.
Uninstall the Lucid VIRTU MVP software and then re-install the NVIDIA graphics drivers again. By default the Lucid VIRTU MVP software is usually installed in the "C:\Program Files\lucidlogix" folder. Look for a "VIRTU MVP 2.0" program group, if you have that then you have the Lucid MVP software on your system. To uninstall simply right-click on the Windows 10 Start button and then select "Control Panel". You should see a "Uninstall a program" option under the "Programs" group. Look for the Lucid MVP software and uninstall it from there.
We suspect the Lucid VIRTU MVP 2.0 software may not be fully compatible with Windows 10. Please contact your motherboard manufacture or Lucid to check for Windows 10 compatibility.

I read about it and did not know it is installled by default, nor i know if it only comes with certain motherboards or whatever.
Although your text speaks about windows 10, so not sure if it applies for 7 too.
I spend a whole day on it, and its a few hours to bedtime which i gonna enjoy doing something for myself, but i will take any suggestions in account and will look for the folder tommorow when i try again.

Windows did found a driver once, installed it, said everything was fine, rebooted and still showed exclamation mark.
Also both cards work in my own pc, yet my card and the other (both the same) don't work in the other pc, actually the cards were removed and switched twice to really be sure..

From what i see you tried you did all i knew dunno if you want to but in the end maybe you could consider trying windows 8 or 10 and see if everythings is ok
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you have another card that works to try?Or another pc you can try the card on?
The only reason i am asking is it may be a pci-e slot having issues or is bad so while it detects a card it may not fully function.
I mean if you did a full fresh install of windows i can not see where any old drivers would conflict.
Also a edit as i skimmed what you said and read it again to see you tested the card in another pc lol
By the way what video card do you have and how old is it?
From what i gather it seems to be an issue with drivers failing to install,but as you said you tried the ones that worked before and so on,Maybe something from windows is blocking something that is not allowing something to be installed?Or it could be windows update installing drivers for you that keeps fucking you up had that happen once,a say spent just to find out windows was auto install drivers over the ones i did with windows update lol
Or the really bad news is that your GPU is almost ready for the heavens
maybe i need a nap as i could not quiet follow this..

Both cards work in your own pc,yet when you your card and the other they do not work in the other pc...
So this card you are using that is giving the error works fine in your own pc,but when you try it in the pc you want to put it in,it throws the code?
If 2 cards fail to work in the other pc then but work on your pc then yeah i take back what i said about the card may be bad,have you tried a different Windows?or using the old OS?as if then it works then you know it is a driver issue,but if it still does not then i would lean to something on the MB being bad like the pci-e slot.
As i said whatever the issue is,it is causing the gpu to fail to initialize,but you said you tried older drivers you saved that worked before and others,so i think it safe to rule out the drivers themselves being out of date or parts left behind from previous install.

Geforce 430 GT, bought both with a discount some years ago.
I have not tried another windows, but going back to Enterprise definitey is not an option, and not really for home use either.
Maybe as a last option, Windows vista.
The options i tried do seem to rule out a faulty graphic card, faulty windows installation or faulty drivers which make it point to something hardware related like the pci-e slot you said but it seems a coincidence it faulted just after a new windows installation.
Or its something windows related other then drivers, which make me think of an irq conflict, but not sure if that is possible.

Well things can fail at any time for any reason,though usually as a general rule you get some kind of warning with video cards,as usually it is a ram issue or bad cap and games crash and so on.
But yeah i am fresh out of ideas of what to suggest....other then some faulty hardware without having another windows to try and install and then if it worked i would say something with that windows but i doubt it is windows itself like i said unless something is blocking the drivers from fully installing or other wise.
Might just be time to upgrade?I mean for 50 bucks you surely could get something better then that or even cheaper depending on what you using that the pc for you might get away with something used.
I mean i guess i hope your not gaming with that old card lol.

New card can be cheap but money is just tight atm, heck i wouldn't mind a new pc if i could afford it.
I am gaming with this card but it runs the games i want to play just fine, i don't really play The witcher 3 or Fallout 4 on highest settings, usually play indie games or adventure games (like Deponia Doomsday) that don't take up much. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well i thought money might be an issue and i know how that is,i just thought before i assumed it was money and not the fact that say all you use the pc for is watching movies and so on and very light gaming that is why you did not upgrade as you really did not need to.
Also i hope my comment about your not gaming on that card,i did not mean it in a bad way,i really just meant i hope you have something better as if not and it money issue and it not working right it sucks.
I am not sure what i would do if my card went down before i can replace it,a i have a few more months or so left before i can upgrade my pc.
Comment has been collapsed.
No offense taken. :)
Yeah your card but basically the feeling of just hoping any computer part will survive for a long time till you can afford something else.
Sometimes i had power issues on my own pc (so not the pc with the carrd problem) Bit hard if you can't jobsearch without your own pc.

Is the correct model being detected? For instance, what's the name of the Display Adapter shown in the Device Manager?
Comment has been collapsed.
If I were you, I'd buy new GPU.
Because eventually as time goes, you'll have to get new one to catch up with games.

You can try this fix - it's a long shot but it just might work
the slightest bit of static build-up can cause a hardware fault
Turn off your PC and unplug it.
Leave it sit for a couple minutes
Hold down the power button on your PC for about 30 seconds.
Plug it back in and boot up.

I had same problem. For GeForce GT 430 you have to use 335.23 nvidia driver.

Try to update the driver from windows driver repository through device manager, select a different card model intentionally it will give a code 10. Uninstall the driver from device manager, and remove any Nvidia Utility from Add/Remove and then reinstall the drivers.
Edit: Congo for fixing it!!

Have one pc that had Windows 7 Enterprise installation on it (and when the card still worked fine), after i removed it and installed Windows 7 Home a triangle with an exclamation mark appeared in Device Manager near my graphic card.
I know my way with computers but i can't figure this one out, and googling gives alot of people with the same problem, but never a solution that works.
Maybe someone experienced something similar, one thing is the graphic card irq is shared with usb controllers and a multimedia device, could that be the cause? ifso how can i change it, just unplug everything and put it back in one by one?
-Tried older drivers to the latest drivers.
-Tried reinstalling windows several times.
-Tried putting the card in my own pc and it worked fine, yet my card (which is exactly the same) in the other pc yields the same problem.
-Updated to the latest bios.
