Default [Resolved]Help please Diplay Driver Problem

I installed a new video driver, after which I attempted to play World of Warcraft. Instead an error window came up saying there was something wrong with the driver or something, so I rolled back the driver. Upon boot up the display was messed up so I reinstalled the driver. Now after just a couple of minutes the computer shuts down and does it every boot up. Please help as I do not want to do another system restore. Thank you so much.

Try this for me as soon as you turn the PC on tap F8 a few time a menu will appear select last known good configuration and press enter. Did that correct it?
