Black screen after installing Nvidia driver.

I've been dealing with this for a few weeks now. Anytime I try to update my driver to a Nvidia driver the screen will go black. It'll make a noise when I click on my mouse like there's a pop up but obviously I can't see it. When you restart the computer it'll freeze on the loading logo. I've ran through a good bit of troubleshooting, reinstalled windows multiple times and even brought my pc to a shop to get the hardware checked. The couldn't find what the issue was and I haven't found anyone who might know. I have a 3090ti gpu, ryzen 9 processor, 1000 watt power supply, 64 ram and a tuf gamming plus wifi motherboard. It anyone knows how to fix this that would be great!

    SOLUTION!!!

    I went directly to the Nvidia website (https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx) and downloaded, did a clean installation and now I'm all set. Hope this works for you! Using the GeForce Experience app messed up my computer to the point where I'd have to use a USB drive to restore my computer every time. The app is garbage. Do it yourself, it works the same and has the same prompts, and is much faster this way.

    I'm on Windows 10 Pro + 2080.

    Before I did the Nvidia installation I updated Windows, and then I updated my Intel drivers and motherboard drivers, and finally updated the Nvidia drivers. Windows os is the foundation of what everything else is built on (I think, not a tech specialist), so then going from the ground up and finishing off with the graphics is what I did. Maybe this helps? 🙏🏼

    I guess I tried everything without any luck already. The only driver that works for me is 517.48. Any newer kills my system.

    Signed in to comment that my laptop with a 6700HQ and 1060 has the same issue on Win 10 and Win 11. Requires a full windows reinstall after installing newest Nvidia driver pack.

    But, I have 3 other systems in the house with Nvidia cards that install fine with it so it's definitely a hardware combination of some sort.
