Yes, DangerousRaccoon again. Back with more problems, I swear for every problem I fix I create 2 new ones.
After having to replace the motherboard, processor and ram on my pc (tried a replacement mobo and still no luck) my computer was working fine, albeit slower due to hardware downgrade, until my display driver stopped responding.
The colours went all bright and the screen froze, image was distorted, then crashed. When I booted again the problem remained, colours wrong and screen distorted as soon as the "boot options" page showed up. I reluctantly removed my GTX 480 video card and tried to run on my integrated graphics.
Integrated graphics I have:
NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i chipset
It booted ok but the resolution was far too low. In device manager the display adapter had an error sign. Using Windows to auto-update the driver just caused crashes on boot. So I uninstalled the old display drivers for my GTX 480 and downloaded the most recent driver that supports my integrated graphics from the website (released Jan. 2015).
After installing this, the computer boots fine, and the resolution is correct on the login screen. But after I enter my details the "Welcome" message appears and it freezes. Then the screen goes black for a couple seconds, then comes back on, still frozen, for another few seconds. This flashing repeats, and never progresses to the desktop.
I'm in safemode at the moment, which boots fine with networking (obviously). I've been at this for hours and it's 4:30am in Australia. Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully after I solve this I won't have to keep posting all these questions! If worst comes to worst I'm prepared to do a clean Windows install, but I'd prefer not to.
Thank you.
