I have an asus gtx 560 card and it works great. the only problem is that after i boot up the computer, it wont run any games until i reinstall the latest driver. This happens after every reboot, it seems to just dump the driver. Anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks in advance

Is win 7 fully updated? This almost sounds like some kind of virus.

Did you do a full scan in safe mode and run your anti-virus while you are there. I still think it is a virus.

Have you looked in the Event Viewer for errors, if there are any, there may be a clue to your issue there. Is the process started, have you checked it when you booted up?

Everything checks out fine. The system reports that the card is using the correct and latest driver at startup, but still wont work untill i run the installer

Did you try deleting the entire driver suite (including any HD audio drivers), purging the registry with Ccleaner after reboot, and reinstalling the drivers?

I did not try that. I didnt think to clear registry. but a little update... most of the games i tried running just crash with no warning. But i just tried running MW2 and it came up with a directx error.

Uninstall, clean the registry, reboot, and reinstall. If you ran the virus scan in safe mode, re-run it in a standard OS environment. Safe mode is great for the first step of a cleaning, but in order for a heuristic scanning engine (every major AV has one these days) to work, the offending software must be running. The heuristic engine is meant to supplement more traditional database scans. The reason Safe Mode is such a lifesaver sometimes is because it's a driver-less environment. Most viruses also won't run either, so if it's not in the AV's database for detection you'll likely miss it.

Not certain what the DX error is (DX11 card and drivers, DX10.1 game, shouldn't be a problem), but most likely it's just related to the fact that your drivers are hosed. Where are you getting your drivers? Are you still using the vendor disc, or have you downloaded more up to date drivers from nvidia? I would suggest the latter, but if that's part of the problem try the version that was included.

And when have the games crashed, after the driver re-install? If the re-install no longer works as a stop-gap fix, then look at temps, and consider the possibility that the card is defective.

The games work after driver reinstall. Its not a big deal, it only takes a few seconds but id just like to not have to do it everytime. Temps are fine.

Give this command a try, you may have a corrupt system file:

The only thing I can think of now is the video card may be faulty, call the manufacture and tell them what is going on. They may ask you to return it to them for repair/replacement.

well honestly, if it is faulty, i wont get into the hassle of RMA. It works totally fine except the reinstall. Just not worth RMAing. And i still havent had the time to uninstall all drivers for the thing and replace manually. I just let the program do the old driver uninstall

I appreciate your guys helps. Thanks alot :)

I'd wipe the hard drive and re-install everything. It's the only way to know for sure whether you're dealing with a software or hardware issue.
