The only option is to use a Windows recovery drive (thankfully I had one) or do a fresh install of Windows.I've never heard of this. If you shut off the computer twice without shutting down properly, Windows will give you recovery options that you can use to boot into safe mode: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013074/ (10-09-2016 05:03 PM)Globespy Wrote: I'm assuming of you have 64 bit windows you use restart64.exe?It doesn't matter. Running restart.exe on a 64-bit system will just call restart64.exe.

In that section it was blank but the box said I had 123 blocks available. I wish there was a video 'how-to' with Nvidia cards and HDTV monitors. That would be really helpful.You've overthinking this. Just import one of the hdmi.dat files. That takes care of everything. NVIDIA requires a custom extension block because it doesn't support default extension blocks. There doesn't have to be anything in the custom extension block, but you'll want to include HDMI support to get around the 165 MHz pixel clock limit. CRU 1.3 will be able to read default extension blocks using driver-specific methods, so this won't be necessary anymore.

I consider myself reasonably tech savvy, so I agree with the last post that complete noobs will end up in a bunch of trouble if they don't have a backup drive. Might be worth putting that in the OP that F8 may not work and newer systems using SSD will not be able to have BIOS boot into safe mode.F8 should work unless the driver crashed. I'm annoyed that Microsoft made safe mode harder to get into since Windows 8. What I would like to do is make restart.exe enable safe mode automatically before restarting the driver just in case something goes wrong, but I haven't found a good way to do that yet. |
