Windows 10: Does the boot screen freeze?

Hi, I have been running into a first and new issue recently starting about a month back. Every time after I am done using my PC I shut it down. Currently when I boot up the PC the Windows logo will appear with the loading circle underneath per usual, but the screen will freeze and will stay like that for an extended period of time. The screen will not change. I have tried being patient with it. Out of all the times I've let it sit, 15min has been the max. Typically I have to start the tower; let the screen freeze; then shut off the tower; boot it up again and then I am able to log in and c

Computer won't Get Past Boot Screen

Basically just made a new PC

ASUS P5LP-LE
X1300 PCI-E
2GB 533MHz
Win Xp Pro SP3

all worked amazingly. uninstalled video drivers. windows did some updates before it shut down. shut down ok, then i changed the graphics card from x1300 to 7950gt, and it freezes on boot screen

switched back to x1300, still freezes on boot screen.

set jumper to clear cmos, turned pc on, freezes at boot screen again

then i put x850xt in, freezes at boot screen. removed 6 pin power connector to x850xt, get a warning that says "NO POWER CONNECTOR TO GRAPHICS CARD", so i turn off and connect it. still freezes at boot screen.

fucking hell, all i did was swiTch a graphics card, then when i put it back it doesnt care!!

WHAT !

seriously i spent all day fixing this thing up and now it just fucks me over, im so annoyed

any suggestions?

 

Screen Freezing up

Andre, thanks for your suggestions. I performed all steps as you listed and it appears that there were

some problems that have been corrected. I will let you know in a day or so if the "freeze" problem

occurs again. Many thanks for your help --- this took longer than I expected!

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
