    new nvidia driver issue

    win 8.1
    8GB Ram
    EVGA 560ti FTW edition(upgrading soon)



    So I tried to install the new driver that came out today. The installation fails and it made my 2nd monitor go black.
    1. I tried to reinstall the drivers. Device manager doesn't even list my nvidia graphics card or any devices having issues.
    2. Ran the nvidia driver remover(Display Driver Uninstaller).
    3. Ran CCleaner to get rid of any extra stuff left behind.
    4. rebooted
    5. Tried again with even older nvidia drivers, same error about installation failed.
    6. Geforce Experience can't installed with an error "cannot create folder c:\user\****\AppData\Local\Temp\Nvdia" access is denied. I checked permissions and everything is set correctly.

    Might just reinstall.

    no, but I did call Evga. The guy wasn't very helpful. He think the driver may have corrupted something. I ended up restoring my pc back to an image I made when I installed it the first time.
