Windows 7 hanging at startup screen with nvidia graphics drivers.
Quick specs overview:
EVGA P55 SLI e655 Motherboard
EVGA Geforce GTX 470 (not OC'd as far as I know. Connected via DVI to VGA)
Intel i5 750 @ 2.67GHz
4GB DDR3 Corsair SMX RAM
Corsair TX 750 W PSU.
I reinstalled windows 7 recently (Had windows 10 before) and basically my issue is that when I installed the GPU onto my motherboard and installed the drivers from NVIDIA (note I also tried the drivers from EVGAs site as well) windows will hang at the "Windows is starting" screen and it will play the welcome sound effect but will never go past that screen though. I can boot into safe mode and stuff just fine and windows will boot fine when I uninstall the graphics drivers. I am at a complete loss for solutions and could really use some help.
I've tried restarting from safe mode, running a memory test, updating windows 7 to SP1 and nothing as worked. When I tried installing the chipset drivers from EVGA for my mobo it gives me an unknown error so I'm not sure if I am not doing something right or what.
