    As I mentioned, it's probably installing and then setting an incorrect refresh rate. Follow what I said to set it right.
    Changing the resolution to a low one doesn't help, the screen is still black.
    You mean you set a low resolution in safe mode, then rebooted, and it's still black then? There's also a vga mode to boot into that could possibly be of some use if uninstalling the driver method doesn't help. Maybe you could boot into that and have access to settings. I dunno, never tried it myself.

    Go to Device Manager, and uninstall your driver from there.
    The one in the the "Display adapters" right?

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Hmm, so I went into the device manager, uninstalled what I should and rebooted into normal mode, it then downloaded the graphics drivers and said: Nvidia blabla something was successfully installed and it wanted me to reboot, so I did and now the screen is black again.

    Windows failed to start now, so I did repaired it. Works fine at the moment.

    So I should not download and install any graphics drivers?

    Windows does feel very slow and laggy. I'll have to try and play a game and see if it's the same there.
