Hello all,
The quick and dirty is I dowloaded NVIDIA driver 378.66 update for 'For Honor', got the black screen except for mouse, I tried to fix it with my BIOS, now I can't see my monitor. What's the best way to proceed?
I want to reset my bios manually by removing the CMOS battery then figure out how to get into safe mode on Windows 10 (F10 doesn't work!!).
The slightly longer version: I haven't changed my driver in years for my GTX 690 since I normally play older games (SWTOR, Skyrim). I started playing For Honor but was getting game crashes to my desktop then I see NVIDIA came out with a better driver designed for my game and others so of course I download it. Now I get black screens even on reboot, sometimes I see my mouse moving, sometimes not on restarts. I try to get into safe mode but kept getting into BIOS (I have windows 10) so in my angry angst I went to the graphics configuration and I changed to iGPU thinking it'd just use the GPU of the motherboard. Nope, now I get complete blackness when restarting my PC--can't even see my mouse. I know, stupid me.
So instead of doing what I think is right I figure I'd calm down and ask the forums. Resetting my BIOS should put it back to default so I can get an image on my monitor and go from there, which leads to my next question--how in the world can I get into safe mode with Windows 10, because F10 at reboot doesn't work.
