Ever since I installed windows 8 I've been going through a lot of frustrations. First installation went corrupt in someway because of hybrid standby. I put the pc in standby and an hour later when I resumed, games started crashing. I couldn't even produce a dump file for debugging the problem !
Second installation went smooth, used it for a couple of days, installed windows media package, pc restarted a couple of times. The third time it booted I saw win8 logo and then there was black screen. Tried unplugging hdmi cable, tried restarting, nothing helped. Soon after the win8 boot logo there would be black screen and the system didn't even respond to the keyboard. I wanted to restart the pc with the keyboard with Alt+F4 combination or with shutdown command, nope it didn't seem to respond to keyboard.
Tried booting with the installation CD and use system restore, apparently there were no restore points ! Frequent powering down might have corrupted it somehow, making it invalidate the restore points ?
Reinstalled win8 for the third time in the last 6 days, I stalled my drivers and apps and rebooted, duh ! Same thing ! Win8 boot logo followed by black screen with no signal from the video out ! PC didn't respond to the keyboard, had to power off ! Tried rebooting but to no avail !
Can anyone help me with this problem please ? I've no idea what I should do now. I can't use the tool available on this website to extract the logs as I can't possibly see anything and the system doesn't respond to the keyboard. There is no safe mode booting ? Is there a way I can boot without loading the drivers ?
I'm using latest beta version of nvidia drivers 310.33.
