Download drivers onto USB drive. Install from BIOS.

You can install GPU drivers from BIOS? wow didnt know that,

 

 

What i would do is boot from VGA on MB, and install the drivers from there

 

On most MOBOs.

Alright, first start off by plugging in your graphics card and boot into safe mode WITH networking. 

 

Next click this link and it should download this uninstaller for graphics http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=files&action=download&

 

 

 

 

Then open the program and this should be more or less what you see... http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=files&action=file&id=275

 

Next click the "select graphics Driver" box and select AMD and then select "clean and DO NOT restart"

Then once it is done do it again but with "NVIDIA" and this time chose "Clean and restart"

 

Your system should boot up into windows WITHOUT safe mode and the screen should be functioning but in a very low resolution, you need to now install the nvidia graphics driver.

 

Go to this link http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and select the SECOND option so that it can find the driver. 

 

Then once it finds it, download, install, and HOPEFULLY (crosses fingers) it should work :) 

 

If anything arises, send me a pm

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...

Yes you can. Just find the drivers on the GPU manufacturer's website.

Find your card then download and install the necessary drivers. It should not give you an error.
