7 zip data error when installing nvidia drivers

Hello,

As the title says I have just done a clean install of Windows from 8 to 10 professional 64bit, however, when I try and download the drivers for my GPU I get a 7 zip data error usually roughly 50% into the extraction process. What could be the cause I have re downloaded multiple time using both ie and chrome I have just installed Windows so there is nothing on the hdd other than Windows.

Specs
I7 6700k
Z170 FTW EVGA
16 ddr4
Gtx 980 ti FTW EVGA
EVGA g2 750w
120gb ssd
1tb hdd

Not sure exactly what you mean by data error in 7-zip, I've never seen that.

Can you try WinRAR or another utility? Is it just your extracting utility that's erroring out? Since you have an nVidia card, can you not just pull down drivers using Geforce Experience? I use it and honestly it works great for my needs, which is merely just upgrading my driver when a new one is released.

It is basically this,

Never mind, that's weird I went to sleep after posting that and just have woken and downloaded it and it installed fine. Don't know what happened
