I have been testing these drivers on a variety of chipsets under Windows 7 64 bit. Now while in safe mode, go to device manager and temporary disable your wired/wireless nic and reboot into normal mode.ģ.) In normal mode, check device manager video card, it should say 'wddm', now you can install 310.70 and reboot.Ĥ.) After rebooting it should now work fine from here, go to device manager and re-enable your wired/wireless nic

If it's the stock driver from windows, right click on the video card in device manager and select 'uninstall'. Here's what you need to do for windows 8 install:ġ.) Make sure you have the 310.70 driver already downloaded on your PCĢ.) Boot into safe mode in windows 8, uninstall the existing NVidia driver via add/remove programs. Thanks to 'battleaxe231' for finding the issue. Had to cold poweroff by holding down the power button a few seconds.Īpparently the black screen is caused by windowsupdate installing the stock driver in the background, and this conflicts with the new driver being installed. For my 9xxx series video card, I get a black screen after install in Windows 8 32-bit. Unfortunately this beta is not a good release, at least for my 9xxx series desktop card.
