Windows 7 won't start after Driver installation

Hi,

I have read this problem a few times but couldn't find a working solution.

Specs: Windows 7 x64 (just installed)

Nvidia 9600M GT

No matter which driver i install it's always the same.

After restarting it goes to the loading screen with the windows logo and restarts after a few seconds. Then I get the choice to repair and restore a previous save state, which brings me backs to the original windows (crappy) driver.

I have tried installing in safe mode and removing the old driver first as well as drivercleaner und ccleaner. I have also tried drivers from nvidia directly and several from this site.

Please advise

kind regards

Hi again,

to anyone who's wondering: The solution is to update your bios (samsung notebook in my case). Sadly the bios update provided by samsung will only install from a 32 bit Windows.

What I did was:

- install 32 bit windows (any one should work)

- run the bios update

- install windows 7 64 bit

- install nvidia driver

and voila. Problem solved.

From what I've heard this won't neccessarily work on a samsung P560, while on my R560 it works just fine.

Merry Christmas guys.
