    Things you can do:

    Reset the cmos chip.

    Try an older driver.

    What you can do is reset the CMOS chip, then boot into safe mode.

    That way you can easily remove the bad video card drivers, set the video card to boot into VGA mode, and then install some older video card drivers.
