If you have a nVidia card and updated to driver version 364.47 that is likely the cause. The update has been pulled. If possible, you will want to try a system restore from the recovery menu.

What do u mean? And how do I do this? Please explain asap. I just want to play the division. This pc is literally worth over 1000 dollars and I'm not gonna sit here with a dead pc

Try restarting the computer during boot to prompt an automatic repair. After the repair tries to run, you should be able to choose an option called advanced options. You should then be able to select troubleshoot. Then you should be able to select advanced options. There should then be a system restore option.

"Restarting the computer during boot"? What does that even mean'". I don't see any advanced options or system restore options. I'm just stuck on the blue screen loop. All I can do besides go through the continuous loop is hit f2 and enter bios

While the computer is booting, hard reset the machine. In most cases this will trigger automatic repair

Can you please talk to me like I'm 5. I don't know what a "hard reset" is...nothing you are saying is making sense to me not do I know how to perform a "hard reset"

Turn the power off while the computer is turning on, while the logo with the spinning circle is on the screen

If you can, give it a couple seconds before you do it

Just did. Waited for the circle to stop spinning, I held the off button and turned on the pc and it's just still looping. No system recovery here

Do you have an install cd or usb? They can be used to access recovery options
