Auto repair bootloop after graphics card update
Hi!
I am having a scary situation with my wife's notebook (which keeps our family photos) after installing Windows 10.
Her notebook is an ASUS G53JQ-A1 and the installation went through fine, except for the graphics card. The logos on screen were enormous and the resolution could not be improved through the menus.
On the Device Manager, the GPU was not even listed. The notebook was running the on-board GPU, which explains the bad resolution. Anyways, I, then, proceeded to the NVIDIA website and downloaded the latest driver, already compatible with Windows 10: http://www.nvidia.com/download/drive...px/87791/en-us
After the installation was complete, I had a black screen after the short boot and Asus logo. No mouse cursor.
Since nothing happened, after 15 minutes I force-restarted the notebook, only to have it go to the same black screen again. This went on for 30 mins, so I tried to hit F8 with no results.
Then the Auto Repair kicked in, but none of the options (short of REMOVE EVERYTHING) have worked so far. I will list everithing I have tried so far:
1. Reset this PC --> Keep my files
2. Advanced Options --> System Restore
3. Advanced Options --> System Image Recovery
4. Advanced Options --> Startup Repair
5. Advanced Options --> Startup Settings (just goes back to the Auto Repair main menu after a boot)
6. Advanced Options --> Go Back to Previous Build
The command prompt does open fine, but I have no clue as to what should I do there.
My questions are:
1. How do I get out of this situation without formatting the PC?
2. Is it possible that there was a conflict between the GPU driver (and all the auto-update and performance softwares that come along with the driver)?
Thank you all in advance!
Best regards,
Marcus
