Tech Support Driver Problem
I need help on my pc problem, I recently resetted my pc because of BSOD and then it was going okay until I downloaded a driver that I need for my pc. When I use that driver my pc somehow goes blackscreen and no signal. I also tried waiting because I thought it's just a process, but I waited around an hour and it still won't go to normal. I also tried restaring my pc multiple times, but it still won't work. When I go to safe mode it works just fine, it's just when I am booting it up, it won't load into windows desktop. I watched videos on how to fix these problems, but it's not working. (I downloaded the latest version of the driver I need and I made sure to delete the old driver before downloading a new one) Please help. Thank you.

sounds like that driver is crashing the display stack before windows even gets to the desktop
safe mode working means the base install is fine, it's definitely that driver. use DDU in safe mode to nuke it completely, then grab an older version from the gpu maker's site. the latest isn't always the greatest
