Recently I had to reinstall Windows 7 because of a Trojan problem. After installing the graphics driver from the disc provided to me by EVGA, my computer restarted. After the windows splash screen, it was just a black screen with the cursor. It's worth noting I could hear the windows login sound. Now when I tried launching it in safe mode, everything worked fine. I tried installing the most recent driver from the Nvidia website, but was met with the same issue. I know it is not a malicious virus giving me this black screen because I had successfully launched Windows a few times before I installed the graphics driver and because after I uninstalled the driver, I could boot Windows normally without any problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't know where to go from here with my limited knowledge. Thanks!
System Specs :
Windows 7 64bit
i5-4670k 3.4 GHz
Geforce GTX 770 2GB ( EVGA )
8GB Corsair RAM
UPDATE : Solved. I believe the problem was that I had two monitors plugged in, but I only had my main one turned on. Windows, however, didn't choose this one as the main one, so it just kept the screen black. I don't know why it worked in safe mode though, so maybe it was a combination of both reseating the graphics card and this that fixed it. Thanks all for the help! I hope this will help anyone having this problem in the future!
