Hi, i'm very confused about a problem that has just showed up.

My PC hasn't been emitting any strange signs recently so this caught me very off guard.

I was playing a game of League of Legends, but right as i loaded into the game, the screen turned into a bunch of static and distortion. I tried to restart, but all i could see was a very distorted version of "system recovery error" text.

If i spam the F8 key i can get to the advanced startup options, but those are also very distorted and i can barely see the first option, since it covers the whole screen. From there i managed to boot into Safe mode with Networking, and now i'm at a loss for what to do. I tried reinstalling my graphics drivers, and even tried checking if it's the monitor. None of those are at fault. If i try to do a system restore, then it BSoD's me and it's back to square one.


 
Solution
Graphics card?

Pull it and try using just the motherboard's graphics port.

From safe mode, start adding back apps etc. one at a time. Could be some buggy or corrupted app.
