Cant boot into kali only windows.

Hi there,

Can you press CTRL + ALT + F1 and reach a terminal?

Is it blank screen or do you have a blinking cursor?

That is the typical symptom for if the laptop was not restarted after installing the NVIDIA drivers (after stopping gdm3) or x-config was run. I say this because you should not have been able to install CUDA without a restart and you have said you installed everything up to pyrit and then could not restart without a blank screen.

If you can reach terminal, run

cd ~
./NVIDIA*.run --uninstall

and then apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee* primus*

and restart
