Windows 10: GTX 980 not compatible with Windows 10?

Hi there!



So, I’m trying to install Windows 10 Pro, unfortunately as I’m trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 the Media Creation Tool 1809. I’m getting a message saying my GTX 980 is incompatible with Windows 10 and that I will have display problems.



I went ahead with it anyway and as Windows predicted, there was display problems.



I tried reinstalling the drivers and even trying to update to windows 10 without drivers, to no avail.

Does anybody know of a solution?


Kind Regards!

:)

 

Windows 10 and GTX 980 problems


Hi,


Big Problem





Upgraded from GA-Z97X SOC to GA-Z97X Gaming G1 BK to enjoy more PCI lane with PLX chip.




It has been a nightmare.




Keep getting graphic card error with my 2 GTX 980 in SLI. Error 43, BSOD, ....




Tried everything. New NVDIA drivers, Older NVDIA drivers, DDU, even a clean install of Windows 10. Nothing works! Andeven after the clean install, machine is super unstable, its not usable because keeps freezing, crashing or going BSOD: always related to graphic cards




More info for you guys,


Followed the basic steps for clean install.

1-Installed on SSD array using usb windows 10 install

2-installed latest mobo drivers for windows 10 x64 (pulled from gigabyte website)

3-Installed latest drivers fron NVDIA web site




after that all its hell....




Tried to troubleshoot,

1- like mentionned above, change NVDIA drivers using DDU in safe mode: fails, (redid this with dofferent version of drivers with same results

2- Tried new clean install with disabling automatic driver update in windows prior to installing GTX 980 and using NVDIA drivers: same tesults. So retried step 2 with all version of NVDIA drivers: fails





Everything was fine before mobo upgrade.




Beside the new mobo, kept everythingelsethe same (same hardware see list at bottom of post). Same CPU, same Dual GTX 980, Same SSD, HD, ...




Only difference,my old rig was a Windows 10 upgrade. Initially was windows 7 that was upgraded through win upgrade abour a year ago.




Going insane with this. Please help!

Nvidia GTX 980 Driver Issues

So I've been trying to get my drivers installed for my GTX 980 after upgrading to Win 10 and it's not happening. I've tried going through GeForce Experience, it says "Sorry GeForce could not find a driver for this PC". I've tried installing the newest
driver manually, and it fails the install process every time. I've tried doing it through Windows Update and it fails there as well giving me a message saying "NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 - Error 0x80070425". It's really annoying me as
I'm an avid gamer. Please help.
