RTX 3050 Ti Mobile Won’t Install Drivers on Prebuilt STGAubron Desktop (Windows 10)
Hey everyone, I’m stuck and don’t know what else to do. I have a prebuilt STGAubron gaming desktop with:
- Intel Core i7 (up to 3.9 GHz)
- RTX 3050 Ti Mobile GPU
- 16 GB RAM
- Windows 11 Home 64-bit
The problem:
- GeForce Experience sees my GPU but says: “Cannot detect compatible hardware / this version of Windows is not supported.”
- I’ve tried:
- Clean installs with an uninstaller that NVIDIA Support sent me
- Manual driver downloads from NVIDIA’s website
- OEM drivers from STGAubron (no response from them)
- Reinstalling GeForce Experience
Nothing works. Previously, a support agent sent me a file that installed the drivers successfully, but I no longer have it.
System info that may matter:
- TPM cannot be found
- Secure Boot status unknown
- BIOS Mode / partition scheme unknown
- Fans spin and LEDs are on, but during System Restore the “initializing” screen just spins
I’m basically stuck now with what I assume is the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. I am currently trying to get it to revert to a restore point I had before running the uninstaller but have been stuck at "System Restore is restoring the registry...".
I have tried all I can think of, so now I turn to you.
