Hi ...
I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem or not but please help me out here ...
i have a laptop Dell inspiron 17 7737 with Geforce GT 750M 2 GB GDDR5 ...
the problem is i have been updating my drivers from the beginning and never had a problem with it up till driver version 350.12 ... anything above that and my windows just won't boot, it gets stuck before the login screen and the screen just stays blank and nothing happens ...
i tried almost every driver above 350.12 ... sometimes the drivers get installed and windows get stuck after reboot before login screen ... sometimes the drivers just hangs up my windows during installation ...

Any clue whats wrong here ??
some additional information ...
i never updated my BIOS coz i think its a bit risky ...
some of the drivers on my computer are pretty old and i thought why update when it is working perfectly fine ...
i am currently running on 350.12 version of Nvidia drivers and they are working perfectly except i get TDR sometimes on BF3 ... 1 out 15-20 times ...

Thank you

1) Try installing the latest NVidia driver again, but this time choose the "Custom-> Clean" path.

2) BIOS has nothing to do with this.

3) TDR-> Unsure, but regardless you should really test your system memory using MEMTEST www.memtest.org (run a full pass, may need to change BIOS boot order to detect DVD/USB before boot drive)

4) Run a CPU diagnostic as well but probably fine: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool-64-bit-

5) W10 upgrade:
I recommend taking your time and planning for this. It may completely solve your issues. Most of the issues people have been having are now fixed with updates.

You have until July 29th 2016 but my advice is over Christmas holidays when you have some time...

COPY and save my list of points if you want (this is for the CLEAN INSTALL after upgrading): http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2812177/moving-windows-install-ssd-1tb-hdd.html?xtor=EPR-8809#16698394

(Media Creation Tool-> I ran that but had to choose "OTHER PC" to allow me to download the ISO image then burn it to DVD with ImgBurn or USB/Rufus.)

Hey Thank you for your answer ...

1) i always do a clean install of drivers ... I use DDU to remove the previous version and then clean install new without 3D vision and Geforce experience ...
recently i haven't been updating my drivers using GE ... i download them from geforce website separately and install them ...

2) TDRs started happening recently ... i do check my pc regularly with Dell system checkup and pre-boot system checkup but i'll try this method as well ...

3) i did upgrade to windows 10 but the driver problem was still there and all driver versions are above 350.12 for windows 10 so couldn't try any older versions ... so i reverted back to win 8.1

I should also add that this happens on a fresh install of windows also ...
