Try booting in safe mode. (tap f8 while the computer is booting) This should
allow you to boot to a low resolution/refresh rate that the monitor will
accept.

You could then either "roll back" the driver in device manager (highlight
your display adapter in device manager, right click Properties and go to the
"Driver" tab, choose "Roll back driver") which should get you back to your
previous settings and/or try installing the updated driver again. Ignore the
"driver not approved" message and choose install anyway.

P.S. You didn't mention where you were getting the driver update from. I
always get mine directly from NVidia and they have always proven reliable.
