Geforce 970m showing a code 28.

[thegreb]

I tried updating my Geforce 970m to the latest game ready driver, as I bought Fallout 4 and the latest one is supposedly optimised for it. It stopped installing part way through, and now my graphics card won't work at all. I uninstalled it and restarted my laptop, to let it try reinstalling. It then showed up under other devices in device manager, but started installing again and is now showing as Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. I tried updating the driver, but it won't do that. It downloaded the driver and began installing, then this popped up:

I deleting uninstalling it all again, and manually updating the drivers after it had reinstalled, but got the same kind of result, this time with the Geforce installer showing this message: Installer Cannot Continue The Graphics Driver Could Not Find Compatible Graphics Hardware Installer.

I have no idea what to try next, aside from a fresh install of Windows (Which I'm unsure will work anyway). Please could someone help me, as I'm itching to play Fallout 4?

Just to add to my own thread, I've now done a fresh install of Windows 7 and installed all the other drivers, but my 970m is still having the same issues as before. It's now stuck on a code 10 error.

I found a general page about errors, not sure if will help but may be worth a look, i did notice on a couple of sites about booting up in safe mode to uninstall. Here is the site: http://www.custompcguide.net/2-methods-to-fix-nvidia-installer-failed-issue-for-geforce-video-cards/

There is also the nvidia drivers site: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/94210/en-us

Before installing any drivers from the Nvidia site download the drivers for the VGA you get on PCS's download's page. Uninstall all older display drivers and then install these and hopefully your 970m should show up. Then you can get the latest drivers for fallout 4 from nvidia
