Infernal Machine~~! Video drivers problem?

I turned on my computer and it did the normal startup: BIOS, Windows startup screen...then nothing. I'm thinking, "No big deal, I've seen this before. I've gotta corrupt video driver; so, restart in Safe Mode, uninstall drivers, restart, install updated drivers, restart, done." Easier said than done, but nothing I haven't done before...only this time it isnt working.
I tried uninstalling both through the Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, and then repeated the process after that didnt work by uninstalling through the Device Manager. After reinstalling the latest nVidia drivers, I get the same thing: it does BIOS, then the Windows screen and then nothing...My monitor says ì‹ í˜¸ì—†ì

Did you use driver cleaner when uninstalling the driver? If not you may wish to download this and follow their driver uninstallation instructions.

Otherwise I'm not sure at present.
