I updated my drivers about a week ago and played about 10 hours of bf5 over the weekend. I just updated windows also and when I tried to start BF5 it wouldn't launch. When I restarted my pc there was a vertical stripe of artifacts when I went into the bios and when I try to boot windows goes crazy with the artifacts then sends me to repair which has the vertical stripe over it. I cant even select options. Is there a way to fix this. I have another computer I can put the card in. I just don't want to damage the second PC.

Sound like you GPU card is bad. Other Users in the past had similar problems. Either after updating the GPU drivers and restarting the computer or the computer crashed and needed to restart again then afterwards the GPU failed to work.
Best way is to install it on another computer to see if it does the same thing. If it does, most likely your GPU card went bad. It shouldn't harm the other computer.
Since it is happening during viewing BIOS it is a good indication the GPU is bad since there are no GPU Drivers loaded at that time. Install the other GPU card from the other computer or install another previous GPU card and see if it works correctly. If it does that at least indicates your computer and Windows is working normally.
