It'll boot into the initial login screen, but after putting in the password, it goes into the "Welcome" screen with the little loading circle spinning. It'll either freeze at this point (cursor frozen too) or it will go into a black screen and freeze up moments later.
I've tried all the available driver revisions for the 400 series, all of which present the same problem. Between each driver installation, I uninstalled and removed them with Driver Sweeper in safe mode. For the time being, I've reverted back to the GTX 295 which works perfectly.
After some research, I didn't find any definite answer for this specific problem. There was someone else with the same exact problem, but no solution as of yet. There was a solution for a similar problem where the boot time was really high and performance was severely degraded. That involved remapping memory values or something. But seeing as I couldn't even make it past the welcome screen, I'm thinking it's a different problem.
I doubt there's any fix for this short of nvidia fixing the issue in their next driver revision. I'm thinking this might be some obscure issue/conflict with another piece of hardware, which I would replace if I knew what it was.
Computer is NOT OC'ed
Any help please...
