Hi Folks
I installed a windows update yesterday restarted my machine. On reboot it got as far as the windows logo and then the screen went black. After waiting a while, I turned off my machine and booted it back up again with the same result.
I used my windows recovery disk to try to fix the problem but it was unable to do so, nor could I boot into safe mode.
I then went through the boot recovery process in command line bootrec (fixboot, fixmbr, rebuildbcd) etc to no avail.
Eventually I decided to format my ssd and reinstall windows 10 32-bit. The fresh install seems to work fine and I can boot into windows. However, as soon as I update my Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 graphics card drivers and restart, I'm again faced with the windows logo then a blank black screen (no cursor).
I've formatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows a number of times due to this black screen issue. The only time I don't get the black screen is if I don't update anything before restarting.
I've ran a memory test, cpu test, uninstalled my display drivers in safe mode. Tried installing updates in safe mode, basically tried all the suggested solutions I can find via Google to no avail.
Note: I've tried updates with and without the graphics drivers and each time I get the black screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can go from here?
Thanks for any assistance
