This is usually the result of a driver conflict. You might want to enable a boot log and see what driver is holding things up

So here is my boot log. Sorry for the wall of text. I'm no expert but there's definitely something that jumps out at me. What do you think?
It says it loaded
dxgkrnl.sys and then immediately says it didn't load it followed by several later failed attempts. I see there have been posts elsewhere where someone has had the exact same thing happen with dxgkrnl.sys. I don't have too much time left tonight to dig into this so it will have to wait until tomorrow, unfortunately. It looks like it either has to do with DirectX or my video card. Always happy to hear anyone's thoughts in the meantime. Thanks!
