Alright... So I built this comp myself 5-6 years ago, although outdated, it has been very stable. Only upgrades have been GPU's. I'm a gamer, so that's my main use for this rig. I recall 10-12 days ago playing BF4. As mentioned, everything was fine for all games... Countless hours of SWTOR, BF3, BF4 etc. While playing BF4, my whole system suddenly crashed! Monitor went into sleep setting, and pc was down. (This has never happened before) I tried to reboot. Windows won't start. After a few recovery steps I get frustrated and decide the hard drive is so HIV'd up, I will just format and lose everything, and start from scratch. This was successful. I reset CMOS, Updated BIOS. (as I was running the original MB version before) I updated all windows updates (to date) Even optional, except the 1 Nvidia option. And everything seems fine. Once I install that Nvidia update, or any Geforce updates what so ever, Windows will not start. Not to mention, the BIOS screen will freeze for a minute or so. After the freeze, I get the "Windows Loading" screen, then black. Screen doesn't shut off, like power save mode, just black. I have let this ride for some time, and it reboots itself. If I try to type password, nothing. I've tried system repairs as well. Nothing. So as it stands... I've been at this for 10 days now. Best I can get is...
BIOS screen hangs for 30 secs-1 min.
