Hello! So I recently installed the latest Nvidia drivers on my Alienware desktop (there's my first mistake, I know) and as seems to be the case with many other people, I get a blank screen on startup after the bios option screen; the monitor says signal is lost and shuts off. I have been told to start in safe mode and uninstall the drivers. This is what I want to do, but can't seem to get there. I've gotten the shift-f8 option on startup to work for me a few times, but it brings me to a screen saying "preparing automatic repair" and eventually asks if I want to do a system restore. When I say yes, it brings me to a black screen that says "Alienware" and that's it; it just seems to sit there. So the problem is that it never gives me the option to start in safe mode - it always takes me directly to system restore, which seems to always freeze. I'm beginning to get pretty frustrated, so I hope you guys can help me out!
I would tell you guys the specs of my computer and specific driver update I installed, but I'm not too tech savvy and can't get to them since I can't get past this black screen...
