Hello all,
I have checked various sites for a solution and normally i would know how to resolve using my own knowledge but this is truly weird.
Last night i updated my GeForce 570 GTX HD card using the lastest stable driver from nVidia. It has since stopped video from displaying after the windows splash screen.
I have tried rolling back, other drivers, cleaning/ uninstalling with DriverCleaner and Add/Remove Programs etc, booting in safe mode and forcing startup with Low-Res 640x480 video, changing output sources from DVI to HDMI, pretty much everything i can think of. All my methods of removing and reinstalling drivers have been followed to a T but i just cannot boot into windows proper.
Booting in Safe mode is fine. In fact, if i completely wipe wipe the video driver in safe mode and then run a cleaner ensuring no driver or residual files are on the system, i CAN boot to Win7. But each time i do so, Windows begins to install hardware (i imagine the WDM default driver), asks me to restart and then same problem occurs- black screen after splash.
I read somewhere to startup without my monitor (DELL 24WFP) powered up until after booting in windows as the issue may lay with the monitor itself and windows needs to redetect the driver for it, however i cannot see the monitor anywhere in device manager.
I'm racking my brains here and can't think of anything else to do except for a Windows Repair which im trying to avoid. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
