Nvidia GeForce GTX465

hi I know this is quite off GP4 Topic, but I have been unsuccessful in updating my GeForce drivers.

I have an Intel i7 with Windows 7 64bit os.

I have Nvidia GeForce GTX465 graphics card. I tried several times updating the drivers, but everytime unsuccessful.
The last driver version installed successfully was 347.88.

After this driver version I tried several times, but again unsuccessful.

I read somewhere online to uninstall the installed driver version 347.88, I have uninstalled it through a program called 'DDU', & now again when I attempt to install any driver, I get an eorror, NVIDIA INSTALLER FAILED. (Latest downloaded BUT NOT installed driver is 358.50).

Right now I have no driver installed, hence my screen looking stretched & blurred, & hence being unable to play an games, due to lack of graphics card driver!

Can anyone be so kind to help me sort this problem? I use teamviewer if this can help online....
Tried posting on Nvidia GeForce Forum, but so far no replies......
Thank you all

Use this driver: [www.geforce.com]

thats for windows 7 64 bit. Its 340.52

Did you try to update to windows 10?

DDU only works satisfactorily if the user is in SAFE MODE to completely remove the display driver

@pippo46: Do you use GeForce Experience to update your driver? If, yes, I had the similar problem. To fix this problem, I have uninstalled GeForce Experience software and reinstalled the last version. Then, the graphic card driver could be updated without any problem.
Link to the last GeForce Experience version: [www.nvidia.fr] (choose your language on the right top of the nvidia page )

@jcaranti - tks4yr reply. No I have not tried upgrading to Win10.... Am a big rookie in that $h!t...... , if I do try, I bet my PC will b BYE BYE!

@phantaman - tks4yr reply. Yes I successfully uninstalled in SAFE MODE, but then I still cud not install any driver version........ So I did a system restore, & back2where I was b4....

@Excalibur - tks4yr reply. Yes normally I check/update my NvidiaGeForce drivers through the Nvidia 'green icon' bottom right of my screen - Nvidia Control Panel, or wateva it is called.... was always successful, until my last installed driver, & I am not someone who plays around wit d system.....being a basic user! Now I am scared to do anytin else, bcos nothin works without d drivers even though I hav old driver installed! So as we speak PC works fine, only cockup is somtins wrong in d background wen it comes to install / update driver!

Look for a BETA driver, certainly some version will work

here I am again......

with thanks to some GPG members & also Nvidia online-chat, I kinda managed to update my driver.

My old version driver was 347.88, which I now updated to new version driver 358.50

Basically the problem was that I needed to uninstall the previous driver, & then DO A CLEAN Installation....
It seems both old & newer driver were conflicting!

So problem solved.... I thought......

Now my GP4 has slowed down big time in 'frame rates' & when I press'O' whilst the game is running, I am somehow getting extremely high 'Processor Occupancy'! I have not touched any GP4 graphics settings, so I am now clueless to what is theproblem - perhaps the newly updated driver aint good for GP4?

Anyway here's screenshots of my Nvidia GeForce Control Panel.

Appreciate if someone who has a similar v/c can compare the seetings, & guide me accordingly please.






appreciate your help guys n gals.

Thanks
