Blackscreen when updating Nvidia Driver
Hi,
- So I closed a game and my screen went black and wouldn't come back until I restarted the computer.
- Screen would remain on until I logged into windows (put in password and pressed enter)
- Repeated several times with same outcome
-Then tried booting in safe mode, successfully
- Removed graphic drivers with DDU
- PC booted perfectly and logged in no problem (using Windows Basic Driver)
- Attempted to install latest GeForce drivers and screen went black again
(I attempted doing this 3 times with the same outcome)
I'm not entirely sure what else to try, I have also attempted removing the GPU, then removing drivers to then reinstall the GPU + Drivers with the same outcome.
Note: The computer will run no problem for any amount of time with Windows Basic Driver
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: On one occassion my ASUS bios warned of a 'power surge' but I believe it was due to the method I used to turn of my PC and the problem persisted both before and after
