Well that was a waste of time. Black screened every 5 minutes.

Good advice. I'll try it out.

If I hadn't just bought a new NVIDIA GTX 970 I might be able to talk my better half into it. But right now...?

Just download the troubleshooter file, open it just like a program, select "hide updates" and then select the Nvidia driver from the list.

PS - My 970 said to tell your 970, "I'm sorry, friend. It'll be okay! Stay strong!"
My 970 say hello right back at your 970, and thanks for the support. Thanks for the link too - I'm going to have a look right now.
