Igpu

Assuming your listed PC specs are correct, that CPU does not have an iGPU.

The MOBO does support other CPUs that do, hence the video ports.

 

PC goes into black screen and froze

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's not a software related issue which is why I was suggesting that you remove the video card to start with since it's such an easy process of elimination step.

I'm not familiar with AMD CPUs, I did see that you had listed in your system specs but I had no idea whether or not it has an iGPU

Is there any possibility of you being able to get your hands on any compatible video card at all?it would be the easiest step to try to troubleshoot or at least one of the easier ones. You should be able to get into the bios without anything but A display cable hooked up to the motherboard

 

System settings app,Display settings app, Microsoft store app close/crash on startup (desk.cpl)

Found the solution myself.

Did 3 steps so either of these fixed it.

1. Reseated RAM
2. Noticed the IGPU memory settings were accessible while having PEG enabled ('Enabled IGPU, boot up, shutdown, Disabled IGPU, now all iGPU mentions were gone from BIOS) -->Monitors now show the BIOS splashscreen again aswell
3. Bootorder was on UEFI and legacy--> Put it on UEFI only.

After 1 (of more of these steps) all issues were gone, including the weird Vista boot animation.

Considering that System settings were accessible in safe mode my bet would be that the 'glitched' setting for the GPU's caused Settings to be misbehaving.
