Frozen mobo splash screen/ black screen boot

When i boot it goes past where you have the option to go into bios, and i can see the mouse over the splash screen. Then the splash screen freezez like an overlay over the screen, and if i take the dp cable in and out its just a black screen, like it is on, but displaying only black light. Windows seems to work fine in the background since i am able to use Spotify. Anyone know a fix that does'nt involve me installing all my games and programs again?*

Hi Pizzaman9988

A couple things to try are:

Clearing the cmos
Another DP cable
Reinstalling the graphics driver
Update the bios

Thank you

Go to the Nvidia website and download the 384.94 driver.

After the license agreement click "Custom (Advanced" install, uncheck everything except the graphics driver and physx driver then check the only box that says perform a clean installation.

Does reinstalling the Nvidia driver help ?
