Pc crashes when installing display drivers
So i played all day and when i got off, the next day i turned my pc on ans it wouldn’t boot up properly. It kept going in a cycle, trying to repair it and it wouldn’t be able to repair itself. I restarted it and would just shut off and keep going through the cycle. I uninstalled windows and reinstalled ans worked fine up until i tries installing the drivers. It started doing the the cycle where it tries to repair itself but doesnt work. Anyhelp please ? Ideas?

A few things you should include in help requests:
system specs
driver version
windows version
what card, what method are you using to install drivers, etc.
there's one possibility: the new nvidia drivers are messed up, you should try installing older drivers, saw so many reports of problems moreso than other ones especially for crashing/bsods
other possibility: you are overheating
another: improperly set bios settings
another: your installation drive is corrupted or needs to be reseated
another: reseat ram and cpu and everything
that should cover most problems -

what precisely happens in the boot loop? I do know that some people were still having problems even after downgrading, but I'd have to go look at the forums again
Do you have onboard graphics? Can you try just running it cpu only? -

If you're able to boot into Windows, I'd suggest doing a clean uninstall of your drivers, then a fresh download and reinstall.

That will help narrow down if it's actually a driver-related problem or something else.
