PC frozen at startup (spinning dots)
Heya guys,
decided to come to ask for help because I can't seem to find a way to fix this issue.
Last night my computer was running just fine. Today I boot it up and it gets frozen at the startup, so I restart it and it does the same. Eventually it boots into recovery mode and I tried all the advanced options of repairing offered with no avail. Removed all plugged cables and replugged them , booted with power and vga cables only and everytime it happens. So I tried to reset the pc thinking it had something to do with the drivers. During this process the pc reboots several times and it froze again during the dots loading part.
It gets through the BIOS everytime but as soon as it starts up, it freezes.
What can I do about this? What are the diagnostics?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it works just fine in safe mode
UPDATE: Plugging the vga cable into the motherboard chipset lets the pc boot all the way up. Does it mean my graphic card is dead?
Thanks in advance!
