Hello, i just built my pc with the following specs: ryzen 3 1200, msi b350 tomahawk, 8gb at 3000mhz vengeance lpx (2x4), gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb windforce 2oc, wd blue 1tb.

And i installed windows 10 from a bootable usb stick, everything good until i download the nvidia driver and try to install it, it started the instalation and i knew that the screen would go black, but it went like that and never came back, i pressed ctrl+alt+del and the screen came to life but flickering and when i log into windows again the screen gone black again... :(

Boot into safe mode, run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) from here: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

 

Then, re-download the latest Nvidia drivers and try installing them again from the new downloaded file.
