Hey guys,
Hey guys, I have quite a big issue with my Asus ROG laptop.

I've installed new drivers for my Nvidia Geforce GTX 770M on my laptop, and then I was asked to restart the computer.
After doing so, when the computer booted up again, the screen was completely black, not even the windows logo nor the 'Republic of Gamers' one started up. That's why I wasn't able to resolve this issue by starting up windows in safe mode, since I couldn't see what was on the screen no matter what.

And yes, I am absolutely certain that everything else besides the screen works, I was able to blindly put in my password, and my keyboard lit up, which indicated that I succesfully logged in, and was even able to hear the sound of skype booting up.

Concerning the screen, it wasn't even lit-up, completely black, not black-lit.

Is there any way to deal with this issue, or at least restore windows to factory defaults so I could re-install an older driver?

Sorry for not putting in the correct tags, I'm new around here.

Update:
I've tried connecting my laptop to another screen, laptop, and even a TV through both VGA and HDMI, the screen said 'No signal'.
I've also tried booting it to safe mode, but that's not so easy to achieve because I CAN'T see anything I'm doing. I'm not even sure if I DID boot it in safe mode, I hoped that if I forced the laptop to instantly shut down by holding down the power button, then turning it on again, it would give me the screen with the 3 possibilities of booting up windows, and that I've also picked the correct one.

As I mentioned previously, everything else besides the screen is working, the laptop is fully functional, I can hear sounds coming from different programs that start on boot up.

Thanks for answers in advance.

The problem is that I have my OS installed on an SSD drive, so it boots up so quickly that I have no time to press the fX button to access BIOS.
