    Im having a issue with one of my older PC's. I just updated my nVIDIA performance program... The only thing i use it for is to moniter the tempratures of my card...My computer locks up and after a while of fiddling with no responce I restart it, I have no POST screens or anything just black, I have an onboard graphics card, so I pulled the card to see if i could role back the driver but i still get a black screen...

    How on earth can I role back the drivers or attempt to fix this if i get nothing but black?

    I tried new RAM, and another card thats mega old, but i get nothing. my moniter works when i plug it into my laptop. how Can i get my onboard working so i can re_install old drivers?

    My setup:

    Main board: MSI 915G combo
    CPU: Intel P4 prescott VT6410 @ 3.00 GHz
    Mem: 2x 1 Gig kingston DDR2
    Graphics: MSI Nvdia NX7600GS-T2D256EH 256Mb
    Powa: AGI 500W

    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    Can you start the computer in Safe Mode? If so uninstall the updated program from there.
