Why does the screen stop working after installing the driver?

Question

Iron

I have a laptop with an Intel processor (integrated Intel HD3000 graphics) with a discrete Nvidia GT540M adapter.
Together with Windows 7, the work goes like clockwork.
But! When upgrading to Win 8 (tried several times, both updating and clean installation), after installing the drivers on the video adapter (no matter which one, I tried to install both first) - the screen image disappears and does not appear again (the laptop itself while continuing to work).
Connecting a second screen (both via VGA and via HDMI) also has no effect - the signal does not come there.
When installing Win 8.1 and 10 the same story.
What do you advise, habrazhiteli?

Answer 1

drivers and graphics output settings obviously fail

Answer 2

Erm. This is definitely a thread about Windows?
