Yesterday I was playing Dota 2 when suddenly I got a black screen and "display driver has stopped working and has recovered."
Right after, I tried to open the game again. There was no way of getting it working.
Any other game was also not working. The first thing I did was, of course, trying to reinstall the driver.
I tried to install the lastest driver (337.50 beta) and I got only "installer has failed".
I also tried with many other older drivers and such, with no result.
Other things I tried:
Nothing worked. It just won't install. Now I'm stuck with Microsoft base driver and can't play anything.
Here's the installer log, the only part with errors: Log (full log attached)
Event viewer shows nothing.
My system specs: CPU-Z Validator 4.0
I think it's probably a miracle if I get this working without refresh/reinstall Windows.
Thanks for your help and time reading this

Other things I tried:
- Clean install (from custom install options)
- Hard clean install (Deleting all nvidia files before)
- Display Driver Uninstaller safe mode + reboot and install (same error)
- Install in safe mode (installer error)
- Register again WMI files (nothing changed)
- Take ownership of various folders containing drivers (nothing changed)
- Directly install INF files using devmgmt (gives error code 28)
- Changing some registry values regarding vbscript that fixed it for other people.
- Use Windows Update. "1 update was not installed" + error 80070002
- sfc /scannow
- Rollback from devmgmt
- Restore to a early system point where it was working (couldn't restore, no matter what point I choose)
Nothing worked. It just won't install. Now I'm stuck with Microsoft base driver and can't play anything.
