PC won't boot after graphics card/port drivers update

JonathanBell · Mar 9, 2017

Hello, recently I have been trying to max out the power on my graphics card as most of my steam games were not recognising my video card memory. As a result I updated two of my drivers, one being my graphics card and the other my port drivers.

However, upon restarting my computer, I was able to get to my login menu, but none of my USB drivers seemed to work, so I could not log in as my mouse and keyboard use USB. After a few restarts I realised the caps lock button worked when I booted the PC, but eventually stopped working as it went past the boot stage and onto my log in screen. Unfortunately after pressing F2/F10/F11, I could not enter my bios screen upon starting the computer, and when I tried the PC simply carried on to the log in screen.

As a result I reset my CMOS by taking out the battery on my motherboard for 5 minutes and putting it back in. Now the PC simply does not go past the boot screen. My caps lock button still works but the PC goes blank and does not go to the log in screen. I still cannot access the bios menu.

This has happened several times over the last few years, nearly always when I update my graphics card drivers. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

Did you update the drivers from the vendor support site for the motherboard and video card or using some automatic utility?

You'll have to start with VGA mode, uninstall the drivers, install the last driver version you had.

I have been using SlimDriver to update my drivers since I've had my PC, as well as automatic windows updates. How do I get onto VGA mode? I have my windows installation disc and have tried running it, but the screen just stays black and the PC still won't come out of boot mode.

Had a feeling you were using some utility for drivers with the issues you are getting. Go directly to the hardware makers support page, get the drivers from there. To get t VGA mode, hit F8 as the system is booting you will see a menu.

I tried pressing F8 but the screen just stays black, is there any other way?

Turns out after I plugged my HMDI cable into my GPU port instead of the motherboard port I was able to load up my computer. My drivers must have only been updating my integrated graphics all this time, which explains why none of my games have been running well. Thanks for the help.
