@farid1965 Depends on the OS. If Windows, you can find everything you need on the Download page for Drivers on the official site of Nvidia. If Linux, try getting the one from your distro's package manager. Should be something like (correct me if I'm wrong) nvidia-driver-{driver_version} (at least on Debian).

Check If the NVIDIA Kernel Module Is Loaded
Open a terminal and run:

bash

lsmod | grep nvidia
If this returns nothing, the kernel module isn’t loaded. That’s your root problem.
