  1. Can't access my pc


    Okay if I'm following you correctly you did a clean install and it was working. Then if I read right the screen went blank as you were doing the graphics driver.

    If so do this again and do not load the graphics driver. Leave it as is.

  2. I did that after but the windows updated and downloaded it and same problem is it possible to stop windows update as this problem is with the driver and I am not the only person that has this problem I have followed your instructions and if I contact Nvidia online on my wifes laptop you cant get a straight answer due to the language barrier ( Indian call Centre )

  3. So just so I'm clear. You did a clean install an you are using new V1607 media to do the clean install from. You had your machine disconnected from Internet, either by unplugging or not giving wireless password to during clean install. Once machine was up you followed the process to to disable hardware drivers. Machine works although only locally like notepad, office or Libre Office or a game.

    You connect to Internet, updates start and screen goes blank.

    Is this an accurate description? Very important as it would indicate to me it is something in the actual window updates.

    When you do the clean install there is also a question MS presents about getting software for other products / vendors. Please say no to this.

  5. No problem. While you are doing that I will look up black screen. Sometimes it takes a moment, over these long distances, for problems to be clarified. Hopefully progress is being made.

  6. New request. Wow lots of Black screens so I want to suggest and ask....

    Before connecting to internet and getting updates shut off hibernation. Right click on windows start, command prompt(admin), enter
    powercfg /hibernation off

    Should this black screen appear again, hopefully not, is the mouse cursor present (the arrow head I think on most machines.) and can you move it around.

  12. Okay, I re-read. Yes Windows installs the drivers for your card as it sees it. It is not necessarily downloading an update if you told it not to as per the instruction.

    Could you please posts the exact Model number of your card and the version of the drivers currently installed.

    I think we need to treat this as the Black screen issue. Sorry about by post with wrong hibernation command but hopefully you followed Spunk's link and saw the right command.

    Could you please post where you are now, the exact card details and if you got hibernation shut off.

    Shutting off hibernation was one item in the Black screen fix, then there is disconnect Logitech wireless products, updating BIOS, pretending that the screen was right and entering password blindly, so lots of options.

  13. Can't access my pc

    Graphics card is a Asus Strix Gtx 960,2Gb.128 bit,pci Express 3.0 GDDR5 SDRAM


    Typed in powercfg/hibernate off and went back to c:windows\system32

  14. Thanks.

    Just so I'm clear, you said windows is downloading the GTX560 and you have the 960? When I key in either card it comes back to the same driver. Do you have the most recent driver on a USB key.

    You said you were able to enter command, excellent. Could I suggest you try a reboot to see if the Black screen issue was resolved (when you disabled hibernate windows disable Fast Startup).

    If this doesn't work can you boot into safe mode and see what driver version is listed?
