    Wanted to reinstall NVIDIA Drivers, but now no Driver-installer works


    Hey I had an Issue with my Monitor losing the signal to my still functioning and working pc while playing games, so I thought reinstalling my drivers could solve the issue . I deinstalled my Graphics Drivers trough the device manager, but Now I cant install the driver again. Geforce experience shows me an error when I tried to install it through there. I then tried to reinstall Geforce Experience and thought maybe it would work then (pls dont ask me why) but now i cant even install it because it says I have to have an nvidia Graphics Card to use Geforce Experience.

    I can guess why it doesnt detect my Card.... Im really baffled because I looked at 3 different websites before attempting to reinstall my driver because I wanted to avoid exactly this situation.

    But they all said just deinstall your driver trough the device manager and download the driver through Nvidias drivers page.

    I downloaded the 430.64 Drivers for my GeForce GTX 660 for Windows 10 64 bit with DHC and without, but both give me an error when they test the System compatability stating that "this Driver is not compatible with this Windows Version. The Installer couldnt find any compatible Hardware" which I guess is again because I have no drivers at all.

    Pls help me. Any suggestions? Tell me If I missed relevant info.
