    HDD Dead? Maybe?

    I have both my comps on a kvm swich, Earlier I switched to my gaming rig and my desktop was flashing on and off...Then It resets itself and now it does that when ever I boot into windows, Gets to desktop, flashes and resets. Booted off Linux usb and works fine.

    Doesn't always reset itself, It will just be a black screen I can see my cursor and hear windows sounds and the desktop will flash on for a second sometimes.

    yeah, probably something messed up in the new driver install, you need to go into safe mode to uninstall the drivers. Unless you know something I don't you cannot uninstall windows drivers in linux

    Standard Disclaimer: 150% of what I say is bullshit.

    I couldn't even boot into safe mode yesterday, Samething happened. But today I booted it up and it worked just all my cookies were cleared and my steam and xfire auto-logins were cleared.

    Great, Right when i posted that my screen flashed off, but this time I saw an nvidia driver error and recovered message pop up in bottom right, and it let me boot into safe-mode today and I just uninstalled card/drivers.

    Old drivers didn't help, I might have another dead 8800

    Works fine with no drivers, I just get to browse the forums in some awesome 800x600 resolution.
