I have a homemade desktop that's been working perfectly fine up until the last few days.
It's running Windows 10 (which may be the issue), and starting to run into problems with my graphics card.
A few days ago my graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770) attempted to update, but failed to because of incompatability with Windows 10.
I thought nothing of it (since I was previously able to use my computer [while running windows 10] completely fine for the previous two weeks), until I started to get the BSOD.
First I got a VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR, and the next day I got a VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (igdkmd64.sys).
Since everything was still running decently fine despite these two crashes among the hours of computer time, I just continued to use my computer to play games until my screen blacked and the resolution suddenly changed.
After rebooting my computer a few times and running dxdiag and a few other diagnostics, I realized that my computer's display had switched from my NVIDIA 770 to my Processor (Intel HD Graphics 4600). My computer was still completely functional and showed the GTX 770 in the Device Manager, but refused to allow me to open the NVIDIA Control Center.
I tried (and failed) to swap my display back to the GTX by:
Going through the BIOS menu to set my graphics to Discrete.
Problem: The Bios menu wouldn't show up. (My computer doesn't display anything until the windows login screen). I've tried to cut into the BIOS menu using F10, F12, DEL, and F1, and while some of these don't do anything, I've found that some of the boot options are keeping the display black for an extended period of time (I assume they're opening into the BIOS menu, but not displaying).
TL;DR
My graphics card/Display is going to crud and I want to get functionality of my video card back.
Thanks!
