Hi I’m so sorry I don’t mean to be a bother or force anyone into unpaid support, but I’m having a full meltdown and if I can’t fix my system I’m screwed. I really thought I was doing it right and installing Pop to my second D drive to leave windows alone but somehow it completely broke Windows and I can load into that, only Pop! And unfortunately Pop! I guess isn’t really my GPU (Nvidia 1080ti I think) so on my 4k monitor everything is blown up and the wrong aspect ratio, cutting off the bottoms of windows I Pop! so I can’t even navigate this system that I’m 100% entirely unfamiliar with. I don’t even care about getting windows back at this point if I can get Pop! usable, I just need a usable machine. I’ve tried some terminal stuff I’ve read online already but nothing has worked and I’m afraid to do the purge ~nnvidia command because it said it might turn my screen black and if I can’t even get into Pop! then I’m screwed. I don’t even know what help I need but I desperately need help

Edit:

I’m too stupid for this. I don’t understand what anyone is saying, nothing is working. I don’t know what to do. I need to stay away for a few because if I don’t I’m going to kill myself. I’m very sorry and I appreciate everyone’s help, I wish I that I was smarter and I wish that I was stronger.

Edit 2:

    Just jumping in here to clarify a thing the other poster asked. “Do you have onboard graphics?” So if you look at the back of your computer, you have the graphics card your monitor is plugged into and potentially other slots along this same card.

    What they’re asking is, is there another place, not attached to this same card, where you can plug your monitor into? This would probably be near USB and or audio connections. If you do have that, you may be able to plug your monitor into that instead and the computer can use that INSTEAD of the NVIDIA you’re having issues with. In theory, this would allow you to change resolution settings so you can follow some of the fixes listed here by others.

    That’s about as far as my knowledge goes on this though, just the physical components lol. Listen to that guy for the software part.
