[SOLVED] Win10 NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti Issues: Configuration Database Registry Corrupt

[Stradivarius]

Hey all.

I'm experiencing some strange happenings with my 780 Ti. I was running dual monitors playing Fallout 4, and restarted my computer at some point. When it did restart, Fallout 4 wouldn't open and kept crashing. I restarted again, and all of the sudden my HDMI monitor didn't detect a signal, and my DVI monitor had severely reduced resolution. I attempted updating the drivers several times, but it consistently failed no matter how I tried it.

In properties, problem code returns "00000027."
When attempting to update drivers, properties returns the phrase "configuration database registry corrupt."

The most recent change I've made to my computer was adding a WiFi card days beforehand.

I would like to exhaust all other options before re-installing Win10. Sysnative Community, you are my only hope. Ideas?

Hi!

Which version of Windows 10 are you using?

 

[Stradivarius]

Hi! I'm using Win10 Pro, Version 1809.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please follow the steps outlined here: [SOLVED] - LogMeIn Hamachi Missing virtual ethernet adaptor, Configuration registry database corrupt (driver problem?)

 

[Stradivarius]

Should I upload my Driver Hive or just follow the next steps after?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Just follow the steps I provided.

 

[Stradivarius]

I did as described and Windows is getting ready. About how long might it take before I observe some progress?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Give it time. Ping me in 30 mins.

 

[Stradivarius]

Will do, thanks for the help.

Everything worked again after re-installing NVIDIA drivers. Thank you! Any idea what caused the issue to begin with?

Any idea what caused the issue to begin with?

At least according to this post by @softwaremaniac, no one really knows why the driver database gets corrupted. My guess is a poorly timed shutdown/sleep or one of the app developers making a critical bug in their driver installation or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Also, please consider using the search feature before posting in the future. I posted this exact question a few weeks ago with the same version of Windows as you (the solution to this issue depends on the OS version).

Just FYI, this is also in the wrong section, but I'll cut you some slack on that one. It might've seemed like a graphics card hardware issue. It'd still be nicer if you searched the forum and posted in the section that similar questions were in.

Great to hear that. As matetoes said, we don't really know what caused the issue.
