Intentionally fail the Windows startup process 2 times in a row (when the loading circle starts)

(Use the reset button, or if your case has no such button, force a power off by holding down the power button. If the computer boots too fast, use the PSU power switch, or unplug the PC)

#

Then, choose advanced startup options, restart, and when prompted, Safe Mode with Networking

#

Go here, download, extract, and run.

Does your computer go "no signal" or is it actually displaying a black screen with the backlight on?

#

messed up driver. Unlucky. switch cable to igpu and use DDU as he mentioned

thin lily
#

so the former

#

what's your cpu?

#

shit.

#

so no other video card

#

do you have another computer?

#

dammit

#

Do you still have the disc or USB where you installed Windows from?

This issue is well known in different social medias. I hope, Nvidia will keep an eye on that and fix this.
For me, after force shutdown, the signal was back again but it nailed my Windows and even repair wasn't working with commands. Had to reinstall Windows and all stuff. And i'm not the only one as mentioned.

bruh

at this point I'll just tell you to use antoher computer to make windows install media and start over

loud lynx
#

U just gotta get rid of corrupt driver

thin lily
loud lynx
#

You said you got no usb or anything correct?

thin lily
#

at least, the current Windows

loud lynx
#

Try get to recovery environment in windows 10 is to turn on computer let it start loading windows and then force power it off do this twice it will then try to repair and then give you options to troubleshoot

thin lily
#

because the video just stops working

thin lily
#

Retry using official Microsoft

#

check the links for the Media Creation Tool

#

Scroll down for this

thin lily
#

same steps, different links for different oses

loud lynx
#

But you gonna need another device

#

Double-click the MediaCreationToolxxxxx.exe file to launch the tool.
Click "Create installation media for another PC."
Select the language, architecture, and edition you want to use.
Choose USB flash drive and click "Next."
Select the removable drive you want to use and click "Next."
Wait for the installation files to download.
Click "Finish"

#

just boot from that flash drive

thin lily
#

Plug in the drive into the computer, go to the BIOS, and there should be an option for boot overrides

#

do that and select the USB drive you just plugged in. If the computer asks you to press any key, do that.

#

Irrelevant, since we're not using foxos

#

In fact, DON'T ask him

#

Windows installations that are tampered with aren't easy to support

#

By the way

#

do you have any personal files in the drives

#

this is going to be a rough one, but if there are, please let it be known, since obviously, clean installing's going to empty the c:

#

anything that is your own documents, photos, videos, downloads, saved game files, etc.

#

aka, the things that aren't just stuff you downloaded/installed

#

ok, then clean install using the drive Media Creation Tool made

#

NO TWEAKED OSES EVER

#

Stick. To. Official. Microsoft.

#

support is a ??? if things break

#

a 3600 ain't lowend enough

#

(this is console level spec)

#

get more confidence on your hardware 🙂

#

that can be easily replaced when you need to... and it doesn't affect your desktop anyway

#

You should consider going for a 5800X3D. Then you don't need to replace the motherboard and RAM.

#

at least you don't need to pay for the motherboard

#

AM5 ones are still pricey

#

I'd probably tell you to hold onto the CPU then

#

the 3600 is still fine

#

then a ps5/xbox series is not fine

#

since that's the cpu level you have

#

comp games tend to be very easy to run as is

#

and no, Fortnite and CoD don't count.

Uefi

#

Try startup repair

#

If you have system restore point then choose System Restore option

#

If that doesn't work then we'll remove driver through cmd

#

That's for installing Windows all over again

loud lynx
#

Why don't you just use startup repair first?

#

what was your way to go now finally ?

unique estuary
#

so you did a clean install again? Very bad that this happens because of a gpu driver. Had the same a month ago.

loud lynx
#

Since everybody were busy, couldn't help

Nothing saved my windows. That was on 546.33

#

If startup repair did nothing, try system restore. If that fails, or there are no points, go ahead and clean install

Is the computer at a working state?

After you finish clean installing, install the drivers using the manufacturer supplied disc, USB, or when prompted once you get your PC connected online. Or just go to the motherboard maker's website and grab the stuff you need.

#

Do not install any other software, or the graphics drivers, until you are finished with this step.

#

Once you are done, download the latest driver on NVIDIA's website. Install as normal. If the computer does the same thing again, you have a reportable bug...

#

Note: before installing the graphics drivers, it's likely Windows has installed an older driver for your convenience already. Make note of the old driver version.
