I have an older PC, Dell Inspiron 531, with MSI GeForce GT710 installed in it, other upgrades include Toshiba SSD, 8gb Ram, upgraded PSU (old one failed after 12yrs). The Toshiba SSD is partitioned in 2, for dual boot Win7/Win10. Up until recently everything was working fine, last year in Nov when I tried updating to Win 10 20h2 I was having major issues with the GPU, the display was all garbled up, I tried few things and gave up after a while, and just reverted to previous version of Win10 and figured drivers weren’t compatible at the time. Last week I got a notice to update to Win10 20h2 since my build was nearing its end. I went ahead and updated again to Win10 20h2 in hopes that this time drivers and everything would be compatible. I was mistaken, and same issues were happening. Screen is all distorted, even starting in safe mode doesn’t help, I can’t see or read much of anything. In the end I just shut down, remove the card and plug the vga into onboard slot.
Last thing I tried was a clean install of Win10 20h2 via usb. After doing that, ran all the updates, downloaded DDU and cleaned all drivers, downloaded the newest driver from Nvidia, installed and still same problems. I was suspecting a faulty GPU, but when I log into Win7 everything is working fine, and no codes are thrown in Dev Manager for GPU in Win7. All this is making me believe that Gt710 is not compatible with the new Win 10 20h2, it was working fine with the previous versions of Win 10. Does anyone have any idea what might be the issue or how to go about it?
Much appreciated.
First photo is normal boot and when I do make it to the desktop, as you can see it's very hard to see/read anything or navigate.
Second photo is stuck on the repairs (i'm guessing) hard to make it out. And third photo is starting up in the Safe Mode which doesn't help.
Once again all this is happening when booting up in Win10 (20h2), on the Win7 side it boots up just fine.
