I have a PC with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics card, and ever since I updated my drivers, it's been a nightmare. After the update, my PC restarted and I encountered this message: "We couldn't repair your device automatically at this time." Now, I can't use my keyboard or mouse. I attempted a system restore, but that didn't help, and rolling back updates wasn't an option. I even did a fresh Windows install, which worked until I downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers again. After that, the same issue returned. I tried using older drivers, but the problem persists. The PC is still under warranty, but I'd prefer to fix it myself if possible. Does anyone have suggestions?

Have you tried running a memory test using the Windows tool? Also, if you have a Samsung hard drive, check its health with Samsung Magician. Otherwise, CrystalDiskInfo is good for monitoring drive status. By the way, what CPU and motherboard are you using? When you reinstalled Windows, was it a full reinstall that wiped everything? Be careful with the Windows 11 installs; they can be a bit laggy sometimes. Trying an older NVIDIA driver might also help!
I'm curious why you think NVIDIA is to blame here? If you're convinced it is, what CPU are you using? If you have integrated graphics on the CPU, consider removing the NVIDIA card and testing the system without it to see if that changes anything.
The computer runs fine until I install the NVIDIA drivers; then it crashes again.
Thanks for the tips! I have a Gigabyte B650M motherboard and an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F. I did a full Windows restore, tried an older driver, and checked with CrystalDiskInfo. All my drives are healthy.
