need help installing drivers in my computer (again)

[Fab]

so, after my computer being stuff for days, I decided to uninstall the nVidia GPU driver and reset it back to factory settings where it was much faster and reliable, I believe it got corrupted at some point

after uninstalling the latest driver, I re-start and it reset to the factory settings, I cleared all of the other, older drivers, and installed the most recent one. After doing so, I run a test with the most recent one, and it still crashed on pretty much every game. so, I uninstalled the GPU driver again to reset it to factory settings again. but instead of it being "NVIDIA GT630m" on device manager, it was "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" with an /!\ warning on it, saying the driver wasn't found. i'm sure that is actually the GT630m, and the nvidia auto-installer refuses to proceed because it cant recognize the name.

any way to manually install the driver?

Open Device Manager, right-click the device and click Properties, go to the driver tab and click "Update Driver".  Select to browse for a driver, and point it towards the "C:\NVIDIA" folder (after attempting to install the drivers from the installer.) It should be able to search and find the proper driver and install it.

looks like after I re-started my computer the GPU completelly vanished from device manager, but on Control Panel => Programs still tells me that the drivers and installed. I tried checking for hardware multiple times and got nothing.

Drivers nowadays want you to install their stuffty bloatware, so that could probably be a contributing reason. Run System Restore and try again.

I turned on my computer this morning and bam, it was there again. It was resetted to the factory DELL driver, I believe, version 332.21. it's quite old but I will no longer update my drivers for the sake of compatibility.
