Hard drive issue?

[Jdogbf]

Hi all!

I took a hard drive from my friends computer to proove to Ubisoft that my AC4: BF game is not having a hard ware issue, but it was the game. So I plugged his Hard drive into my PC and booted up the PC. the game worked, unpluged the hard drive and plugged it in to his. Mine still works as I am posting from it but his PC will not display graphics once he gets to the log in screen. He sees the motherboard logo, and the windows boot logo, but nothing magor past that. He can see his cusser and sometimes the ethernet picture when shutting it down. Any ideas on what to try?

hit F8 while booting then select repair my PC from the menu and load last know good configuration.  If that doesn't work you might try a windows cd and choose the repair installation option.  If that doesn't work you may have to take it to a local repair shop or re-install all together.

As in the windows log in screen? Try to boot from a recovery DVD/USB stick and repair windows. When you get to the log in screen try to unplug then plug the monitor back in that might work. If it still does not try to unplug the GPU and use the integrated one instead (assuming he has either of those).  

 

Edit: When you plugged his drive to your pc from which drive did you boot from his or yours? If you booted from yours it might be a driver issue.

We are trying something right now, Deleted the Nvidia Display driver.

 

I used it on mine as a stand along drive, and he does not have a DVD drive.

We figured it out... Just did a system restore.
