Windows 10: Computer fails to boot past windows logo with dedicated graphics card installed.

I booted up my computer and was first brought to a blank black screen. I restarted my computer and got some weird artifacts on my screen like red dots everywhere, then black screen again. Restarted again. Now It freezes at the windows logo. However, I can boot in to safe mode just fine. I can boot normally when I remove my dedicated graphics card and use on board graphics. I've used two different graphics cards after I thought the first might have failed. I also went in to device manager and disabled all graphics drivers, still would freeze at windows logo. I removed the card, used on board, and downloaded any windows updates, put card back in still fails at windows logo.


I checked the event viewer and I'm getting 219 event ID driver errors. I can't update my graphics drivers while in safe mode and I can't boot the computer normally with the card installed for drivers to install.


All help is appreciated! Let me know if I can provide anymore details.

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.

  Click on “Device Manager” from that list.

  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
  

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.
