I tried upgrading to the new forceware drivers, the ones from a month ago, and now my computer will not boot windows. The logo screen comes up and then finishs but after that all I get is a blank screen, no matter how long i leave it. This has never happened to me before, i tried reinstalling it multiple times but it still didn't work. Previous drivers work, and safemode works after the new drivers are in.

Anyone have any ideas?

AMD 3000+
A7N8x
6800 GT
 
safe mode works because it doesnt use the drivers.

try uninstalling old drivers,
reboot to safe mode
run driver cleaner
reboot to windows
install new drivers.
 
Do you also have the latest chipset drivers installed?
Did you use DriverCleaner or another utility designed to completely eliminate the old drivers before installing the new drivers?

Thats all I got.
 
Hi Kanaric,

Try this:

Power up the computer and hold down the F8 key like you would to bring up safe mode. Instead of choosing Safe Mode choose "Enable VGA Mode".

This should get you into windows with display settings that are compatible with your monitor. From here you can choose the desired resolution, colour depth and refresh rate.

When you restart you should have everything set up correctly and working.

Failing that, you can do what Faction and wrangler have suggested.

Cheers.
