    I posted this in the general AW forum, but as it's more gpu related, I'll post it here.

    Ok, so after 2 days of putting everything in order, installing games and apps, today I wanted to update the nVidia driver to the one posted on laptopvideo2go.

    I prepared everything, the driversweeper etc, now went to cpanel to uninstall the nvidia drivers, I uninstalled the update, then the main driver, but suddenly my screen went BLANK.

    The keyboard was still lit, no beeps, no errors, only the black screen.
    I rebooted and found the same blank/black screen.
    I tried in safe mode (all 3 options), same, after loading driver list, it stops at the blank/black screen.

    I got into bios, but there is no option to disable video or tweak something.

    What can I do guys? I don't want to reinstall windows and everything from scratch... especially since I have a crappy internet connection (2mb) Please any ideas?

    LE: I solved it, it was the truecrypt preventing from booting. I unencrypted it and it booted fine.
