Are you able to boot to safe mode ? ?

If so remove the offending driver and re-boot...

Because if you try to boot to safemode you may be suprised to see that you can see something...
Have you at least tried ? ?

When you turn the computer on do you see any image at all on the screen? Like the computer manufacturer's logo?

Have you tried plugging in an external monitor?
