I tried to use the Nano with the IDE with following settings:
CH340 Driver
Processor: 328P / 328 (Old Bootloader)
Board: Aduino Nano
Every time i try to upload it i get the Following error message after some time:

The Nano is shown in the device manager as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM7)"
Anything connected to the board? Specifically to pins 0 and 1.
Although unlikely, have you tried the different options under tools → processor (328P, 328P old bootloader, 168).
Please give the history of the board. New board? Used before? Where did you buy it? If it started failing while working with it, what was the project that you were working on?
A few years ago I had a problem with Chinese Arduino Nano clones bought from ebay. When I plugged them in, they worked with the LED flashing program, but when I tried to flash my program on some of them, it gave me a similar error. In the end, it turned out that on some of them, instead of the CH340G chip, some completely different chip was soldered, even with a different number of pins.
My mistake, I didn't see it. Then maybe the automatic reset is not working and a manual reset can be tried. If that doesn't work either and the stuff suggested by @sterretje doesn't work, I can't think of anything else.
