91.47 driver problems help

i currently am using dells 84.40 drivers and have no problems.  if i install the newest video driver from nvidia site and restart machine i see about 2 lines in windows go across and then black screen says monitor powerstate mode.  after about a minute or two windows will load up.  this happens with any version of driver over 90 that i use.  anything in the 80's versions works just fine.  has anyone else had this problem.  what causes the boot hang? Does these dell cards not support nvidia drivers?  i have tried everything to fix this issue and no luck.  specs below

    Before getting into more details as to what happened. Did you remove the previous driver prior to installing the 91.47?

    I updated my video drivers from Dell's to the newest nvidia and I was not happy, so I rolled back. You may want to stick with Dell's because of your monitor. Was there anything wrong with your previous driver?
