Hi everyone!
My fathers old laptop was getting really slow, so I ordered an HDD caddy and one Kingston Sandforce 240GB SSD. I installed the components, and installed Windows 8.1. After doing this I Installed some software like a web browser, anti-virus etc. Then I ran Windows update and let it install 46 Updates (roughly 900 MB). Then I used DRP.SU to install drivers, but when it came to the last driver, the graphics card driver, it shut down suddenly. When trying to turn it back on it just gives me the black screen with a blinking underscore.
What I have tried: I have tried installing windows again, but I still get the black screen with a blinking underscore even before I can get going on the installation. I've tried alt+f8 and I've tried shift+f10, still nothing.
I have also tried removing the HDD which is seated in the HDD caddy, and that didnt work either.
Any other suggestions?
Best regards
