Then i would suspect the graphics card as faulty/damaged as none of the nvidia drivers work.
The computer had no issues when the Graphics were disabled, so it looks like that may be your issue.
Sorry I cant be of more help.

Indeed, I also aspect the same. I tried the drivers I've had for a year since installing Windows 7 (301.42) and the system managed to load. However, the display was split in 8 scaled down subdisplays with a lot of artefacts on top. I may try a few different drivers in case one of them fully works but other than that I have given up on the matter. I appreciate both yours and nilank's help. Cheers.
Hopefully you may find a driver that is stable.
If not you can still use the computer if you disable the Graphics card again.
Wish you the best of luck.
(Please can you mark this as closed/solved...many thanks)

Many years in the future... I'm having a similar problem. My system crashed while playing a 3d game, displaying odd video artifacts. It would not reboot. After a couple of restores I got it to reboot in safe mode. However, even after disabling the graphics card I still see the odd artifacts everywhere (while waiting to login at the Windows logo, in Windows Explorer, etc.) The artifacts are mostly thin horizontal colored lines. Does this indicate a particular problem or fix?
