First, make sure your card is plugged in all the way as Rich said. Then
boot to Safe Mode by pressing F8 before Windows loads, then uninstall
the nVidia drivers in Safe Mode. Now reboot and download the latest
nVidia drivers and install them.

So it sounds like it worked ok to get into Safe Mode, so at least it
isn't at the hardware level. In Safe Mode, did you go Start-Control
Panel-Add/Remove Programs-Find NVIDIA Display Drivers, click it, and
click Remove? You shouldn't have to do anything in Device Manager
