So as the title states I was just upgrading my GPU driver for a new game I just got. During installation I got the BSOD with video_tdr_failure error. Then it gets stuck in a loop of black screen and BSOD before just settling on a black screen. At that point my PC and all fans are on, but there's nothing on the screen. And I don't think I can even get it into safe mode due to there being nothing displayed. I'm not really sure where to go at this point so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Specs that i remember off the top of my head:
Processor: AMD FX-8320
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
OS: Windows 8.1
8GB of RAM, don't remember brand
Samsung 250GB SSD
650W PSU, don't remember brand
MSI gaming series mobo, don't remember specific model number
I also can't access any error dumps due to there being no display.
Update: was able to boot into safe mode
Update 2: fixed with SinxarKnight's recommendation! The driver was the culprit and had to boot into safe mode with networking, download the previous driver, and search for it on the computer and install it manually. Restarted and it works!
