Crashing when entering safe mode since new drivers... Help

Please help me.

I installed those new Xtreme G drivers on my 7600GT then I restarted and got a BSOD. Went into safe mode and realised that I hadn't removed my old ones. So I removed the old ones and restarted. Then it got past the windows loading screen.. But then nothing. I just get a continuous screen of black. When I try and go into safe mode it freezes when asking me whether I want to do a system restore.

No idea what's wrong here so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Naffa

Ok slight update.

I cleared the CMOS and now when I boot up normally i get a flash of the Windows logo and a flash of the blue screen... Then my PC restarts. When I try to boot into safe mode my PC just restarts before I see a Windows logo.

SOMEONE MUST BE ABLE TO HELP ME?!?!!

Have you tried slinging in the Windows XP CD and forcing a repair install? That can sometimes be worth a try.

I'll give that a go.

Thanks for the post.

Did it and no luck.

I've put the hard drive into my other PC and am copying the files onto my external hard drive (how long do you reckon 30GB will take on a Duron 1.3GHz? :rolleyes:

). I'm pretty sure that the hard drive itself is at fault. I remember having exactly the same problem with my Deskstar so I borrowed this... *cough* Maxtor as a temporary replacement until I buy a Spinpoint or something.

I'll see if a reformat fixes it later..

Thanks for the post though semi.
