Since you can log into the computer, try and roll back the video drivers
to the ones that worked:
Roll Back Troublesome Device Drivers in Windows Vista from the How-To
Geek -

If that is unsuccessful, go to Control Panel>Programs and Features and
find the entry for Nvidia display drivers. Click the Uninstall button.
After you reboot, install the correct display drivers. Before you do
this, get the correct drivers and have them handy. See below for general
drivers information:
Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:
1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor.
