I updated my drivers last night, and now my PC won't boot properly. I can only access the BIOS, but then I just get a blank screen with no output. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? Is a reinstall necessary?

If you're not seeing the GRUB menu at all, you might need to boot from a USB installer and use the "Boot Repair" tool available there. Also, make sure to turn off Secure Boot in your BIOS settings, as it can stop third-party drivers from loading properly.
What drivers did you update and how did you do it? There's a chance we can get to the bottom of this with some details.
First off, check your BIOS settings to make sure your Linux Mint drive is still set as the primary boot device. If everything looks good there, I recommend asking in the Linux Mint forums. They have a great community that can offer some solid help. Good luck!
I accessed the GRUB menu by repeatedly pressing left shift during startup. From there, I rolled back the kernel to a point before the update.
