Backstory:
So I'd been getting various BSODs and game crashes for a while and decided to re-install windows 10: that didn't seem to help, but after chasing a few dead ends and the BSODs becoming more frequent I decided to try re-installing again anyway. This time there was progress in that I was now only getting a "video scheduler internal error". I read that this was caused by GPU drivers or something so I removed my GPU. Windows 10 would then freeze during boot-up right on the windows logo with the little dots in a circle. Just for fun I re-installed again and it froze up at the security code stage. rebooting from there caused it to freeze right as soon as the little dots in a circle appear, before the windows logo even loads. Just to see if it could get any worse I decided to re-install again but the exact same thing happened.
The present:
Windows 10 installation freezes at the stage where it asks for a security code and upon reboot freezes as soon as the little dots in a circle appear.
Additional:
Command prompt and startup repair are inaccessible through the advanced repair menu because windows requires login credentials to access them and the only available account is some weird "defaultuser0" which I cannot access. Safe mode is also inaccessible to me through the advanced repair menu because no keyboard I tried would work to select it from the list (although that is useless now as there is no longer anything to safely boot).
Any help would be appreciated: you guys are plan A, and plan B is to scrap my rig and get
something new.
Cheers!
