A bit of a background, I had an HD7770 for like a year. I was using the Radeon driver. It was perfect, and I could play games perfectly, until something like 2 months ago, that update broke my driver. Since then, every time I played a game, it crashed and booted the computer after 5-10 minutes (The GPU was fine because since then I've been playing in the same computer using W8.1). I decided to swap to Catalyst. Games don't break the computer, but the FPS is horrible. So I decided to get a new GPU, Nvidia, a GTX 750 TI.
Yesterday I uninstalled Catalyst. I followed the wiki article to uninstall it step by step. After booting my computer I get the following screen. (as it says in the wiki, I booted before installing nvidia... it says to boot after removing the driver). I also installed my new GPU.

The underscore seems at first blink very fast, you almost don't notice it is blinking, and then it blinks normally, but as said, I cannot go to any term, and it doesn't go through this screen. The only thing I can do is a hard boot.
I decided to try with the installation media (a CD), go there and from there install the nvidia drivers. But when I boot from it, I get the following screen:

Nothing I can do from here, apart from hard booting. it says something about nouveau, but I have never installed anything related to it. In fact, I play to install the nvidia drivers once my computer works again.
So I am in a situation where I cannot boot to a term or anything similar, and that my computer gets freezed when trying to use the installation media.
All the hardware works OK, because as said, everything runs in W8.1, including the new GPU, which works perfect there.
thank you for reading this!
