I built this PC with my dad about 2 years ago. Its been working fine until a few months ago. Yesterday I was gaming and listening to videos in the background. Then I think the machine crashed. I got a screen with vertical purpley-red/blue and white stripes and the system became unresponsive. I forced the machine to shut down and turned it back on. After the windows logo did its animation the screen became black and the system would not boot any further. We messed with taking pieces out and in etc. After a few minutes we found that the system would not boot with the GPU installed. I did a lot of ‘finagling’ involving taking the GPU out, booting in safe mode and rebooting several times. Eventually I found a program online called ‘Driver Fusion’. I installed the graphics card, got the system to boot in safe mode, ran the program to delete all the drivers related to the graphics card. Then I restarted into safe mode again, and installed the most up to date drivers through the AMD ‘autodetectutility’ program I had downloaded earlier. It downloaded the correct drivers so I restarted the system. This time it was able to start up completely with the GPU installed. Currently, the system recognizes that there is a GUP installed and I was able to get a program called ‘Speccy’ to recognize it also. When I go to play a game, the game will not recognize that there is any GPU installed at all and tells me to restart or update my drivers (Which i have already done). Program windows windows when moved around, create that weird choppy ‘ghosting effect’ and videos I watch seem very choppy. These problems did not appear when I booted the system normally while running just the MoBo graphics.
These are some pictures of some of the errors i’m getting.

In short, I've got a GPU installed that has been working for 2 years with up to date drivers but nothing i want to use will recognize the GPU.
Edit: Removed GPU. Windows ghosting goes away, videos play smoothly but still cannot play games.
I was able to get the system to fully boot normally without safe mode by getting it to do a system repair on start up. It's probably not the best thing considering all my problems still persist.
I went to device manager, right clicked on the yellow triangle, used it to update my drivers. It asked me to find the drivers on my PC. It found them, installed them and told me my PC was up to date. Then i restarted and could not get past "Loading windows" like usual.
