Windows boots to black screen
Mobo - asus a8n-e
Bios - up to date - 1013
WinXP sp2
gfx - Geforce 6800gs
1 gig ram
I was attempting to install the new Forceware drivers from Nvidia, and I seem to have hosed my computer. After uninstalling just the Nvidia Ethernet drivers and rebooting, the system is loads to a black screen.
The bios info comes up fine, I can see that. The Windows XP loading screen comes up fine, no problems there. Now it goes to a black screen and not the kind where your monitor is off, but the kind where you have a 'black' screen with the monitor still on and showing you all black. I can hear the computer still going through its loading process for my usual stuff at startup (openoffice, samurize, avg, etc) so I know it is still working.
Last Known Config - no change
Safe Mode - Loads to windows and it Does show everything it should in all its safe mode glory. Windows pops right up, but I am stuck with no use of the keyboard and the mouse. I tried three different sets (2 analog and one wireless set) but no response from anything.
Boot to VGA Mode - Similar to Safe Mode as it loads everything fine, but no use fo the keyboard or mouse.
I know the keyboard works, and I have to hit the F8 key to even get to the option for Safe Mode and stuff.
Is there anything else I can try before I do a repair on the thing?
