I'm having a frustrating issue with my graphics card. It's not appearing in Device Manager at all, and every time I try to install drivers after running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU), it fails. I used DDU because I couldn't uninstall the Nvidia application or download new drivers previously. The last time I used DDU, it worked perfectly, but this time it seems to have messed things up. My system has also been feeling a bit sluggish since I ran DDU. I have an RTX 3080, a Ryzen 5 5600x, and an Asus TUF X570 Plus motherboard. I've started reinstalling the chipset drivers since I read that might help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you might want to double-check if your GPU is properly seated in the PCIe slot and that the fans are spinning as they should. Try to install the chipset drivers again as they could be crucial for proper GPU functionality. If it hangs during installation, consider unplugging your PC and holding the power button for a few seconds before trying again. Also, have you checked if the GPU shows up in the BIOS? That might give a clue if it’s a hardware issue or just Windows acting up. Running a DISM and SFC scan can help fix any Windows-related issues. Here’s how you do it: open Command Prompt as an administrator and run "sfc /scannow" first, and then "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth". Reboot after each step and see if it helps!
Hey, did you manage to find a fix for this? I'm dealing with the same issue, so I’d love to know if you got it sorted out!
Thanks for the detailed steps! I’ll give those a shot after work and see if it brings my GPU back. Just to clarify, might DDU have removed the chipset drivers causing this issue?
