Hello
Had some issues with my laptop recently, quite the story it is.
Initially Windows 10 had downloaded a driver for my Nvidia GeForce 635M, looked like the laptop didn't like that one, since I was getting a completely black screen after Win logo (not even backlight).
Entered BIOS, got only two options for graphics: UMA and Switchable Graphics. Went with UMA so I could boot into Windows at least.
Downloaded latest Nvidia Driver as well as the GeForce Experience. Switched to Switchable Graphics from BIOS, booted into Safe Mode, started driver setup, chose Clean Install, PC restarted and froze minute or two after I entered my desktop. Booted back to Safe Mode, did a standard install of the Driver. Restarted and again a completely black screen after Win logo (not even backlight).
