I had some problems with my pc so I decided to reinstall windows.

Every step went fine until the end where it restarts after showing "Completing installation...". It just shows black screen after that and all I can do is to restart my pc. Btw, if I wait inside black screen after some mins it becomes BSOD and auto restarts..

If I change booting device priority from CD to HDD the same black screen stays after windows booting logo..

Video driver resets are not often a good sign. I've only really seen this on my side from extreme GPU overclock attempts. If this is not your situation, perhaps the videocard in your system is dying/dead.

A simple way to determine this would be to remove the video card, and plug your monitor into the onboard (assuming this is possible with your CPU/motherboard) graphics.

If your setup does not have onboard graphics, do you have a spare GPU card that you could test your system with?

Some other things you could check:
-Videocard fans spin?
-Videocard temperatures are within safe margins (20C-80C).
-PSU is supplying enough amps (since this is an older build it could be possible that the PSU is suddenly not happy with you and your...

Earlier you stated you wanted to reinstall to try to fix a problem with the PC...

Could this be related to the current issue?

Perhaps its not a software issue, but hardware..?

More information about the first issue could prove useful in determining what the current problem is.

Hopefully your RAM or SSD/HDD aren't deciding to fail on you.

On a side note, have you tried to boot into "safe-mode" ?

The problem from which I decided to reinstall windows is "display driver has stopped working and has recovered" message. Im having that for around a year now and none solutions helped me.

But I decided to reinstall not to remove that problem but because it got even worser. Before it usually just made my screen blink for a sec and then recover but now after getting that message, screen turns black and monitor says "VGA No Signal"

So I wanted to reinstall thinking it may help to get back to usual screen blinking.

Btw, I can't access safe mode since my windows did not complete installation succesfully and tells me "Cannot complete installation in safe mode, please restart bla bla bla"

Idk if I should mention this but -
After I done "chkdsk" and it checked disk. The booting was fine (without black screen after logo) but I was getting window which said something that windows installation wasn't completed and press Ok to restart. As I tried to install windows again, the black screen problem came back.

I understand that this may be difficult to determine if you can not boot into windows successfully.

Personally what I would attempt at this point would be to remove the video card, and attempt to use any onboard video (assuming its available).
Install Windows and see if you can successfully boot into the OS.

If this functions, clearly the issue is with your GPU (or PSU, RAM, CPU, or anything else in your computer).

Isn't trouble shooting computer issues fun?!?

On a side note, cheap PSU's were the cause of many of my computer instability issues (and destruction's), once I decided that cheap PSU's were not good, my overall system stability has increased substantially (and my house no longer smells of burning electronics).

Long story short, this sounds like your GPU going south (in a bad way). If not GPU directly (or GPU cooling), then PSU would be my second guess to your systems inability to boot into Windows.

Best of luck. Keep us posted.
