Just like the title says, and I've got no idea why it's happening. Something like this did happen to me once before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it.

I've been away from home for 10 days, and I figured that it'd be relaxing to play some games once I got home. I get home and start my computer up from sleep mode and start out with some Mount and Blade: Warband. What was odd was that the game refused to launch through Steam, and I had to open the game folder and launch the .exe file directly. I then watched YouTube for a few hours before trying to launch some more games, reaching the same result. I then shut down all my processes before restarting my system, hoping that would fix it. Once the restart was completed and I logged in again, the screen crashed to a solid color. Not blue, just a random pastel color. I started my system in safe mode and ran a couple virus scans which turned up with nothing (although the full scan ended up cutting itself off, which always makes me nervous). I tried to update my graphics drivers very quickly, but Geforce Experience can't do it before the system crashes. Every time I start my computer up, I log in and I then have about twenty seconds before my screens will just display a random color, different for each monitor.

It might be worth noting that when I restarted my computer the first time, the system started applying some updates. I also run a dual-monitor setup.

Anybody know how I can fix this?
