    Yes!..

    I contacted ASUS  support. They told me to restore default BIOS. Then it's over. Device Manager shows the VGA card and install the card's driver.

    ( ASUS BIOS setup has no settings for graphic card. )

    Do you have a restore point that predates the error? If you do, restore your system back to that point.

    Look in C:\Program Files\Nvidia, , IF NVidia drivers were ever installed, you should find it there. If its there look for installer.

    I have recovery disks..I'm not sure about that.That will be my last option..I'll try that.

    Thank you for your help..thanks

    okay.

    Also try going to windows update and see if windows detects the need for NVIDIA Drivers and if it does, install it.

    After installing the windows drivers, perform the steps below to clean install your display and remove the windows driver in the process.
