Troubleshooting Black Screen with Nvidia Driver

[A-Cortex]

Hi Guys,

yesterday I did a reinstallation of my MacOS, installation and everything worked as planned, I did the installation of the Nvidia Driver for my 1080Ti to work again. Today I turned on High Sierra again, after login it froze. On restart it gave me only blackscreen. Can't boot HS, Recovery and even when trying to boot from the USB-installer to re-install everything again, I only get blackscreen. Luckily I have Win10 running on same machine so i could edit and see config.plist, but whatever i tried from the forum and on my own, it didn't work at all. Can only boot into windows now and really need help to get it running again :-/

Any help is welcome!
