dkman123 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 NVidia driver won't install on a Clevo P170SM-A (Sager NP8278) with a GTX 1060m I have the same issue as this thread:https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/11908-1060-in-clevo-p750dm-g-isnt-recognized-by-nvidia-driver-little-help/ The laptop came with a 970m I got the 1060m off of ebay. It works fine in linux (though I had linux installed before switching the card). I installed windows on a separate drive, but the driver won't install. Originally it says "no compatible hardware found". I've tried editing the nvcvi.inf file and it will attempt, but fail. I've tried a number of driver version numbers. Device Manager shows the hardware ID PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C20&SUBSYS_74811558&REV_A1 GPUzhttps://imgur.com/SHJJNlN Install Failhttps://imgur.com/ebCRLoO I really don't care if it's a current driver or an older one. I just can't stand it saying Microsoft Basic Display Driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to install drivers with already modified inf files from this link: https://premamod.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/j95-nvidia-inf/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkman123 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Nice. I didn't know that existed. I didn't get 436 to install, but 417 worked. So I'm happy.
