I have Intel Core i5 2410M GeForce GT540M 2gb 750 GB of HDD

i installed windows 8 on my acer laptop
and once i thought about bring the application drive or my drives and files
i installed intel VGA i think but there was intel on it probably intel VGA

after installing i saw blinking screen and goes over to the startup menu and i can't do safe mode to after blinking it redirects to startup screen

the blinking was fast like count 1-2 secs it will blink and again after that it would be pitch black and go over again

any solution??

help me coz i dont want to destroy my pc anymore!!

Hm... try doing a reinstall and run Windows Update before you install drivers. A lot of native drivers are out through WinUpdate at the moment.
And which operating system are you running? 32 bit or 64 bit?

I would venture a guess that it's x64 since this is a Win8 Forum.



It would be best to download the drivers for the video card and see if the issue persists.
I had to do that on my system as, until I did so, I only had the native screen resolution options.

I feel like a right fool.

mines x64 bit,
a reinstall huh ok ill try

its windows 8 x64 dev prev im gonna install right coz i may be freakin out for the data ive lost

oh by the way its in my laptop

wish there was a solution

Well you don't have to reinstall Windows, but if you can transfer your data first that'd be a good idea. Take a look at this and this.

actually i can't boot to safe mode coz once i boot to safe mode it directs to startup menu and the only solution is hard boot

hard boot could minimize pc performance

Okay, well perhaps you could try a system Refresh.

but how i can't get it to reinstall its in my usb and has win 7 x32 and win7 x64 and windows 8 x64 its still blinks

So, the blinking happens before you can choose your operating system? Is that what you mean?
