After Nvidia-driver install, loop

Hi

Since they've removed the F8 option I'm at a loss how to fix this.

I upgradet my XP to Win8 Pro, worked great.
I installed my Java, Flash, F-secure, Firefox, Thunderbird, worked great.
I installed and played World of Tanks, never run better !
I decided to upgrade my Grapihcs driver (Nvidia 9600) ... FAIL

After rebooting my machine after the nvidia install, I get past the little Window screen (light blue one with the little animated circle underneath), then it starts to act up. I works hard on the harddrive, while "shutting off / turning on my monitir (not actually the power, but like when switching off into power safe mode) ever single second. While the monitor is "on" I can get the mouse arrow to show, then it switches off (into power save like state) and back on again. I've let do this for approx 1 hour (went to do dinner) in hopes it was configuring the darn thing. It wasn't.

I hope someone can guide me to a solution, I'm really at a loss how to fix this.

P.S. I got Win8 as the download upgrade option, so I have no CD to reinstall from - else I would have tried that first

I can't boot into safemode. That's my whole problem. In Win8 the F8 option is removed and Win8 never starts up properly.

Just in case--for future reference--on installing NVIDIA drivers.

Some system specs might help us. For future, see my sig. Having a system repair disc would be really nice at this point, although there are few guarantees in this regard.

Well, creating a system disc at this point really isn't an option as I can't get into windows.
I can't tell you what driver version from Nvidia as I can't get into windows.
I can't download Windows8 as I can't get into windows.
I can't get help from Microsoft because I can't get a hold of my PID ... as I can't get into windows.

I require your motherboard, as that controls the boot options for BIOS.

Right, all that I mentioned was for future reference--except that I mentioned that more info on your computer/system might help us. Do you have info on your mobo?
