after installation i was able to see the boot screen but was unable to see the logon screen.
the computer froze with the background color of bootscreen which is purple. and i have to restart it and have to choose failsafe graphic mode.
and after logging in in failsafe graphic mode. my nvidia driver says i am not using it.
