Nvidia driver installation failed

[Cleaner]

Help! I try to install latest drivers to my graphics card Nvidia Geforce GT 620.
When I try to install them, program says that "Nvidia driver istallation failed" and shows list of all parts of driver it didnt install. What should I do? Please help me as fast as you can!

Try again and tick the "clean install" box during the process.

I shall try it, I tell if it worked or not.

The latest drivers from NVidia (v320.18) are seriously flawed. The last stable ones were 314.22. Check the NVidia forums. Many people are have major problems with the new drivers, ranging from freezing in games and BSOD, to drivers causing voltage spikes which fry their cards. Speaking from experience, wait for the next stable drivers before updating.

Download from Nvidia older version :)

Be sure to update the post with your findings. It might help someone having the same issue if they come here looking.

I would do what others said and install the older versions. I'm currently running 320.18 on my SLI GTX 670's on my desktop, and on my SLI 650M's on my laptop with no issues, and my desktop is Windows 7 and laptop is Windows 8. Issues always seem to affect random people.

You could even go back and install 320.14 which is a beta driver, but the latest release before the newest one. I've personally never had an issue with a beta driver either, but I'm sure one of them will work for ya.

I tried to install older stable version 314.22, but the same problem repeated; Installation failed.
: ( I could try even older versions, or wait for the new stable. Im not sure. Any help is needed.

If it said installation failed then you didn't actually get to try and see if it works or not. You need to completely remove the recent driver before installing the older one.

I thought I removed it before? I clicked the "clean install" box and then my computer restarted and continued installation, but without any effect.

I don't know your computer knowledge level, so I'll try to make this as simple as possible.

You'll need the following to remove all of the corrupted NVidia stuff left on your computer. Download a copy of CCleaner, Driver Sweeper, and the 314.22 version Nvidia Drivers (Google for them if necessary). Install CCleaner and Driver Sweeper. Make a Restore Point before doing anything else. Run CCleaner (Run Cleaner button on bottom right of screen). That will get rid of a lot of garbage on your machine. Close CCleaner.

Uninstall as much of the NVidia drivers as possible (all instances of NVidia programs in the Control Panel uninstaller). You may get an error saying that parts of it couldn't be uninstalled. When done, reboot the system, and go into Safe Mode (Keep tapping F8 on the keyboard during reboot on most computers). Your graphics resolution may look funky at this point. When the menu comes up, choose Safe Mode. Go back into the Control Panel, and uninstall any remaining NVidia stuff. It should uninstall without any problems.

Next, run Driver Sweeper, and check all of the NVidia boxes (EXCEPT ANY WHICH ARE RELATED TO YOUR COMPUTER'S CHIPSET). Do NOT check the chipset drivers, or your system be become unusable. Click on the Analyze button, then click on the Clean button. That should get rid of most of the old driver. Open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), and look for any NVidia directories (there should be one off the C: directory and possibly one in the Program Files and Program Files (x64) directories). Delete them (including their subdirectories).

Open CCleaner again, and click on the Registry button on the left side of the screen. Click on the Scan For Issues button at the bottom of the screen. When it finishes scanning, click the Fix Selected Issues button. It will prompt you to make a backup of your registry. Do so, then click on the Fix All Selected Issues button. Your system registry should be relatively clean of the old driver now. Reboot the system into regular mode.

You should now be able to install the NVidia 314.22 drivers without any problems. Choose the custom install, and do a Clean Install. The whole thing should take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete, and your computer should be working fine again. Choose the settings you want for your graphics in the NVidia program. If you're not sure about this, get someone who knows about computers to help you. Good luck.
