Booting to black screen - Windows 10
Restarted to finish installing Windows 10 updates, booted into a black screen. Boots into a black screen now every time I try to boot into normal mode.
Ran Windows 10 fine since it was released. Never had this problem before in five years of using this laptop.
It boots into safe mode fine, so I figured it was a problem with my graphics card. I tried uninstalling the drivers and the card, but the problem persisted.
Eventually I gave up and reformatted the whole system using DBAN. Reinstalled Windows 10 fresh. It started up fine, but the resolution was wacky. I figured the GPU wasn't working, so I brought up the AMD website to install the necessary drivers. Suddenly it flashed to a black screen again. Now it's stuck on the original problem again: booting to black screen repeatedly.
Tried reformatting again and reinstalling Windows 7. Installed and booted up fine, but again the resolution was wacky. Installed the drivers for the GPU, and it black screen again.
Pretty stumped here. Any ideas? Or am I dealing with a trashed GPU?
First post here. Thanks for your help!
