Windows won't get past Start Up screen with Nvidia drivers enabled.

Nakitu mate this is the right driver for the card - not the top one as it is beta and I would if I were you dump the AVG and pick a different security.


Drivers | GeForce

Best Free Antivirus Software - I would personally not pick AVG or MSE from this list

AVG has actually caused me a lot of problems in the past. for your motherboard sometimes there is chip-set drivers like for mine there is one and i need to use them for my graphics to display correctly. So it might help if you download the right drivers.

-edit- if there is any specific for yours?

-Second edit- There is device specific check the link below:

It might not even help but having all the drivers installed will probably do a world of good.

Like crytoncore has said mate the AVG is really not a good player and in my humble opinion I would never have it on board as many years ago I had an untold number of problems with it on board.

It is also very hard to get rid of too I found and that in itself speaks rams to me but the choice is yours.
I gave you some options and this is another link I did not mention last night.
Probably the Best Free Security List in the World section 2 is the real time stuff the rest is a good list of other stuff you can use for all sorts of problems.

Have you installed any new programs lately, any new windows updates?

Nakitu said:

No, didn't change anything. Is it possible that Windows unintentionally messed with the bios of my graphics card?

Not possible at all mate. On that score, you're fine.


When you say clean install of drivers, are you talking about just uninstalling through programs and features?

Sounds like you'd be better off using Driver Fusion to remove all nvidia drivers/settings etc as well.



Uninstall the nvidia drivers. In safe mode since you can't boot properly.

Run Driver Fusion select Display> Nvidia

Reboot normally and re-install the nvidia drivers.

If the PC is still Blue screening afterwards, you might have to start a thread in the BSOD section to determine whats actually causing the blue screens.
