Hello. I just installed my GTX 580. For some reason Windows 7 64 is not detecting the card.

Windows boots just fine..... I get no beeps or anything off the card. However I get no hardware detected..... and it does not show in the control panel/devices. The monitor is hooked up to DVI 1 and allows me to run in windows just fine. I have tried to reset the bios, change the power plugs.

- Note I do not have an extra 8 Pin connector on my PSU. The card did come with an adapter to turn two PCIe in to one 8 pin. That is what I used to connect the 8 pin.

Can anyone help me out in figuring this out..... I have no clue what else to do. I was just running a 5850 on this system. Uninstall-ed the driver using Revo Uninstaller and some ATI driver remove tool just in case.

Running on MSI GD65 + PC/Power Cooling 750 Power Supply.
 
Oh forgot to mention....... when I try to install the driver it says no compatible hardware found. Bleh
I do notice that now in device manager....... I see like 4 HDMI items with no name.
 
Ok just tried it again and nothing. I did notice that in my devices it shows standard VGA graphics adapter.

So I uninstalled it..... but as soon as I booted back in to Windows...... Windows just installs whatever the hell it wants..... so fast. Dam you SSD!! Ok how do I stop windows from installing some generic driver?

I think that is the issue.
 
Man that dam driver installs over and over before I can stop it! Man that is the first time I have had this problem....... my ATI card windows asked me if I wanted to install it through Windows Update. Here I have no choice.... It is just tossing me in a reboot loop.

Right click computer, choose properties, choose advanced settings on the left, click on the hardware tab, click on device installation settings button, choose no and tell it to never install driver from windows update. Remove the device and reboot, hopefully it wont install it again. BTW try re-seating the card, make sure nothing is daisy chained to any of the power cables going into the card.
 
I plan on getting a new card in the near future and am going to format my hdd and reinstall windows. My dad let me borrow a 5850 for a bit and I cleaned out my drives etc...I ended up taking the 5850 back out a couple of hours later because I couldn't get it to run for more than 10 minutes without getting bsod's. Who knows what it was. I know it wasn't the card and I know it wasn't any other hardware issue because as soon as I reinstalled my 9800gt all was well. He plopped the 5850 back into his xfire rig and it ran fine.

Huh, what does that have to do with this thread?
 
Can't get my GTX 580 to install drivers either. Keeps telling me it can't detect the device.
 
perhaps try starting in safe mode. wont connect to the internet then, just load up drivers on disk? not sure... safe mode might not let you install drivers though : /
 
Oh shit I forgot, guys make sure to go into your bios and make sure primary video is set to PCIe or PCI Express, also make sure you have the latest motherboard chipset drivers installed.
 
Yep its set to that. Dam man that dam auto install has me in a loop. Thanks for the help by the way.

Here is the driver it keeps auto installing.. even after I changed the settings you gave me.

Driver VGA.PNP.SYS located in Win32 folder. BAH!!!

APPA are you saying that the disk drivers got rid of that device not found error? Hmm great time to get out of a DVD Reader......... Shit! I am trying to install off of the newest drivers.
 
Wonder If I can ISO it and run it off ISO on my computer............. worth a shot huh. Lmao.

I will keep you posted. Thanks Again!!

Do you have the latest motherboard chipset drivers installed for your system, what mobo do you have? Or is this a manufactured system like Dell etc...
 
The disc install worked perfectly for me. Just ran CCleaner registry cleaner, disc in the drive, ran the Video Driver Install and it's working perfectly.

If his chipset drivers are updated it could be a registry error and Ccleaner may not be a bad idea, I'm waiting til he posts back.

the driver windows is installing is the default vga driver. it should have no effect on whether the nvidia drivers see the card or not. the newest drivers should be the 262.xx drivers that [H] used in the review. should also be the same drivers on the disc as well. unless nvidia royally screwed something up on the card thats confusing windows this is all a driver problem and not a hardware problem. so make sure if you did have any earlier nvidia drivers installed that you completely clean them out.
 
The disc drivers are 260.99, and the drivers that nvidia.com is still feeding are the same. For whatever reason, they do not seem to work. I got 262.99s from guru3d.com.

Nvidia is feeding 262.99, I linked it above. You gotta chose windows 7 64 bit and GTX 500 series.
 
Oh wow, I don't know why but every time I tried it was feeding me 260's.
 
Op's first mistake was not having his computer information ready for most people to look at. Lord has been right though to ask if his motherboard chipset has been updated. I didn't even realize eVGA put out a new bios for my motherboard & just updated it 2 weeks ago. Two more hours & the card is in my hands ^_^
 
Ok got it to work. Thanks everyone for the help. A few things.....

- Bios and all drivers were up to date

- For some strange reason windows installs a generic driver...... one which will not allow the Nvidia Website driver to install.

- Since my DVD Rom is down...... I burned the iso on my lappy and used it over my home network. Booommm the EVGA install CD was the key. Go figure. I guess the card is so new windows makes it awkward installing Nvidias driver. Oh wells........... Time to party!!!!!!!!
