I've been using my newly built PC with no problems until recently. A few days ago while playing a game, my PC crashed. After a manual shutdown and restart, my computer would not boot up past the "Starting Windows" screen. I would just get a black screen for about 10 seconds before it shuts down and attempts to re-boot itself.
I've narrowed the problem down to my GPU (Sapphire Dual X r9 280x). I can boot up in safe mode just fine as well as normal mode as long as the AMD drivers are uninstalled. It works fine with the default generic windows VGA drivers.
I've tried wiping the old drivers and re-installing... same problem.
If I boot in 480p, It can move past "Starting Windows" and get to the "Welcome" screen. However, some artifacts are present. I still can't make it to the desktop.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Here's hoping I didn't fry the gpu. It works with default drivers so I'm not sure if it's hardware or software?
