Beware, if you plan on buying 680M's on a custom sager laptop, don't expect your drivers to update at all.
Thats normal. Laptop gpu's use different drivers than desktop gpu's.
What are you using to update? Are you downloading from Nvidias website or are you using Nvidia Experience?
Have you tried completely wiping the drivers with [url=http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html]DDU[/url] and then reinstalling?
Geforce Experiance is the last thing you want to use
do it by downloading them off the site

Says it contains trojans

What says it contains trojans? Out of curiosity. Also could you answer his other question?

DDU, and i used the website and geforce experience, both.
The problem is complicated and I contacted sager and they gave me batch files to put on a DOS bootable flashdrive but my laptop can't boot the batch files. I set my boot setting as flashdrive 1, none 2,3,4, and it auto goes back to bios.
I'm on the earliest driver there is back in like 2010 or 12 or something.

No, I'm asking what said DDU contains trojans. What program. An AV I assume?

Windows defender + chrome, you download it?
DDU is legit, if you're getting a warning, I'd be more willing to say you have some malware plugin in your browser that is hijacking the download and trying to give its own payload instead.
[QUOTE=lac1994;47141418]Windows defender + chrome, you download it?[/QUOTE]
It's a well recognized program, and at least Chromium gives me no issues downloading it. I however can't launch it because it's an .exe. Are you sure Defender+Chrome isn't just telling you that it could potentially contain trojans? It'll often do that with an .exe file, whether it does or not. You scrolled down to the downloads section and downloaded version 13.6.4.2?

Yeah, i'm sure it has nothing bad on it, i was just saying, i downloaded it anyways, fuck it. trojans don't hurt my fire pc, i burn em to the ground.

I honestly don't know myself, I've just read that it might be a good idea to use DDU for things like these.
A friend of mine had some driver related issues some days ago, and we fixed it by uninstalling with DDU and then reinstalling.
[editline]15th February 2015[/editline]
Anyways, did you try reinstalling the drivers? Any results?
I'm still sort of unsure what exactly your problem is tbh. You're not being very descriptive.

clean install from the nvidia installer does not remove any files except two, both of which are your video preference files and user profiles, that's it. It then proceeds to slather new driver files all over the old ones, with rather little regard for cleanliness, workability or stability, and is an option which should never be used by human beings or other computer users.
I have a Clevo W170ER and I never had a problem with Nvidias drivers (except Experience installation not behaving sometimes)

yup, i used the program, uninstalled my drivers, restarted windows, tried to re-install drivers, still no success. i am on the lowest version of the driver and anytime i attempt to upgrade i get the error "forced to reinstall graphics driver" and my screen blacks out, i restart laptop and it says i don't have any video cards in my laptop.

I went to the geforce website and found this [URL]https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/747254/?comment=4399742[/URL] (my exact problem)
[editline]16th February 2015[/editline]
was told to contact sager for an updated vbios "please contact Sager for an updated VBIOS." i contacted sager and they sent me the vbios, "The VBIOS file is attached.
Please unzip the attached file to a DOS bootable USB flash drive. Use the flash drive to boot up the computer. Run the two batch files.
F2706701.bat and f2716701.bat."

i made my usb dos bootable and put the files on it. the computer cannot start with the bootable usb, i set usb boot #1, 2,3,4 = nothing. when i force boot with usb it brings me back to bios
[editline]16th February 2015[/editline]
i run the batch files on desktop and they are 16-bit made for 32 bit pc
[editline]16th February 2015[/editline]
i contacted sager to send me 64 bit files last friday, still no reply, waiting on sagers reply
is the USB itself bootable?
[QUOTE=wraithcat;47152952]is the USB itself bootable?[/QUOTE]
i'm not sure, i'm not a usb expert, are usb flashdrives inherently bootable without having to 'make' them?
[editline]16th February 2015[/editline]
sager replied with, "Hi Lance, you need to use DOS not Windows to boot up the computer. ",
and
"Hi lance, please check the CMOS setup. Make sure the UEFI is disabled.
If the USB flash drive still does not boot up, you may need to test the flash drive on any other PC. "

You'll have to manually create a bootable DOS flash drive. You could grab Freedos and then grab the actual image within the distribution (odin.iso or something like that) then install it on a flash drive using something like YUMI.
RUFUS is a simpler utility to do just that (although I've heard that some people say use MS-DOS instead of FreeDOS for some reason).

Yeah RUFUS is quicker/simpler if you just want one thing on the drive.
