try clearing CMOS and plugging GPU again else as you have onboard Intel HD graphics, backup C drive's data to some other drive and reinstall Windows.

Download and Install Driversweeper - uninstall all the traces of nvidia display driver using this - reboot and try to install latest nvidia display driver.
