Blue vertical lines at startup and Windows won't boot after nVidia update

[petar.pavicevic98]

After I updated nVidia driver, been playing game and it just froze, keeps restarting but without luck, says your PC ran into a problem, all that time there are vertical and/or horizontal blue or white lines, I can't even get in safe mode because it won't accept password, any solution? Thanks!

If your CPU has on-board video (iGPU / APU), use that instead of your nVidia GPU. Remove it (the nVidia card). Now boot into Windows with the onboard video and uninstall the nVidia drivers. Now reinstall the GPU and see if the problem goes away. If so, attempt to install the drivers again with fresh settings (usually there's an option to reset all video card driver settings back to defaults)

If you have a backup, restore the backup, if the above does not work.

I can't because it won't accept my password which is correct, how to bypass that?

I can't help you with the password. However, I can assist with your hardware issue.

If you have a spare hard drive. Try installing it into your PC and reloading Windows 10. That can at least isolate if the problem is caused by a faulty driver, setting, or in fact just the GPU hardware itself.

GPU is dead...
