    Hello,

    My video crashed to a pink screen. When i rebooted i got a black screen after the windows logo.

    In safe mode i can enter. I see my card.

    If i take out the video card i can enter in windows no problems with my motherboard one.

    I uninstalled the card drivers trough windows and with a remover software and reinstalled the latest ones. No help.

    What is puzzling is that in my bios if I boot with the external video card i get wrong or misspelled words. If I boot with the motherboard all is ok.

    Was wandering if that is a sign my videocard is dead or its a software issue.

    Thank you in advance for any comment or ideas.

    Hello Niko and Welcome to Computer Help Forums.

    Unfortunately, it sounds as if your video card bit the dust.

    The cheapest and simplest solution is to use your onboard video. :)
