Hello. My Windows 10 have stopped going past the load screen and instead freezes on the dots spinning in a circle.
What I have tried so far is
1) In safe mode - disabling all auto start up programs

2) Reinstalling windows twice
3) Disconnecting all USB such as keyboard and mouse
4) Resetting CMOS by opening up the computer and repositioning the plastic "jumper"
5) In safe mode with network- Tried to update and install the latest drivers but the windows update page would not load. Other similar pages would however load

6) In safe mode - ran "memory diagnostics tool" and it seemed OK

7) In safe mode - ran "system file checker" but could not see any results as the computer restarted and did not load past the loading screen. There did not seem to be any problem when it was running the diagnostics

8) In safe mode - ran "disk check" and everything seemed fine but frooze when the cpmuter tried to boot back up. During the disck check the final screen said “scanning and repairing drive (C:): 100% complete”


My specs

motherboard – IPISB-CH2 (Chicago)

Gpu current - NVIDIA 9600 GT

Cpu current – intel core i7 2600 3.4 ghz, 4 cores, 8 logical processors

RAM current - 2x4 GB RAM - don´t remember the exact product

This problem occured after I had tried to install a new GPU which didn´t fit in my case and which had UEFI instead of Legacy BIOS. I tried physically installing the GPU but space was too tight so might have accidentally touched or damaged a component on the motherboard. After trying and failing with the new GPU I went back to my NVIDIA 9600 GT to at least have a working computer.

What are your suggestions for fixing this issue of my PC freezing at the Windows 10 load screen?
