Hello, something has gone faulty with my PC, after 2 crashes it doesn't load Windows anymore, I tried resetting but every time it shows the Windows loading icon, screen goes dark and nothing happens. I was able to run it in safe mode but after doing a full Windows reset, it doesn't do anything when I try to go into recovery mode.

Furthermore, when I try to go into BIOS, this is what it shows - https://gyazo.com/0257a47e52ebbaa1b609dabf6227362e.jpg


Any ideas what I could do here? I tried swapping RAM and moving slots but that didnt change anything.

As you could load in safemode, it sounds more likely to be a driver issue - but that shouldn't impact the BIOS, and the display problems you're seeing.

First of all, I'd remove your R9 270 - use the onboard graphics initially (connect your HDMI/DP etc to the motherboard) and see if the issues continue.
