If you have Graphic Card. Then plug your HDMI on graphic card.

Model's a Dell XPS 8900

I've tried mashing the F8 key on start-up to enter safe mode but it doesn't work. I've also tried starting up computer with the graphics card connected via HDMI to my computer but still doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

a desktop? if you connect the monitor to the gpu, it will use the gpu. or did you mean you disable the gpu?

where and how did you disable it?

I disabled the integrated graphics display driver through windows device manager

was there a reason to disable it?

when you said "doesn't boot past the Dell loading screen", did it black screen?

There are different config on the 8900, what gpu did it have?

the monitor displayed the dell logo and the spinning circle but then just stopped. for the dedicated gpu I cant remember the exact model but it was some low level Nvidia card that came with the cpu.

if you have another working pc. get a usb flash drive. download windows 10 iso from microsoft website and do a system repair from it

would it still work if I plugged a recovery drive into my PC as it literally just shows a black screen and I cant see whats going on or if its even working

the screens still stuck on the dell logo but it doesn't respond if I stick a USB in it so I cant tell if it works

for the Nvidia card it has both hdmi and dvi ports but i only have an hdmi cable

change the boot seq to start with the recovery disk

change the boot seq to start with the recovery disk

unfortunately I'm clueless on how to change it. when I click on the boot sequence subheading there's a text box on the right with 'boot list option' and 'legacy' and 'uefi' options. i cant change it to legacy boot mode. do I click 'add boot option'? if so what do I write for 'boot option name' and 'file name'?

Thanks in advance
