Installed nvidia 1070-now Win7 hangs at login screen-frozen keyboard
My win7 machine was running great until the Nvidia GTX- 480 graphics card failed. I installed a new Nvidia 1070 which has caused the system to stop responding once it gets to the login screen. I have tried restarting in safe mode to change drivers but it does the same thing so it appears that I can't get into the system to do any further troubleshooting. I also tried to do a windows repair but no joy.
My case has hot swappable drive bays and I have two different bootable win7 drives - one for games and one for applications. Both drives do the exact same thing freezing at the login screen. I have also been playing with win10 on a third drive and it boots fine as it did before the 1070 installation.
Any ideas how to get win7 running with the 1070? If it's a driver issue, am I going to have to start all over again with a new win7/apps install since I don't know how to get into it now to fix the problem?
As always any help/tips are much appreciated.
