In Windows 8 or 10, Click the “Start” button, then type “System restore” and click the relevant result.

Both NVIDIA and AMD have this option during the setup process (gee, it’s almost like people have trouble with this sort of thing a lot!). Option Two: Install The New Drivers “Clean”Īlternatively, if option one doesn’t work, a “clean” installation of new GPU drivers uninstalls the existing software (plus add-ons like NVIDIA’s PhysX software), resets all settings, and the install the newest version fresh. Your PC should run like it did before the newer version was installed. When you’re back up and running, double-click the installer package you downloaded for the older version of the driver and follow the on-screen instructions. Once you’re done you’ll probably need to restart Windows, and your screen may flicker or display the wrong resolution. NVIDIA’s driver package is labelled “NVIDIA Graphics Driver (version number).” For AMD cards, it’s simply labelled “AMD Software.” Click the entry in the list, then “Uninstall,” then follow the on-screen instructions. In Windows 8 and later, you can find this by clicking the “Start” button and typing “add or remove programs.” In Windows 7 or earlier, it’s in the Control Panel under “Programs and Features.”

Once you’ve downloaded the older version, go into your Settings menu and uninstall the newer version.
