After boot up and PC goes through BIOS I am left with a grey screen and a spinning wheel of five white dots.
Tried letting it sit for 10 minutes and no avail.
Power cycled computer off and on to start repair diagnostic, but Windows was unable to repair (can't remember exact verbage)
Attempted to boot into safe mode, left with a solid black screen.
Thinking to the last time it worked all I can recall changing was updating Nvidia driver to whatever came out on 7/19/2021 because games kept crashing. When I got to the computer this morning it was still on (not in sleep mode like it should have gone into) woke up the monitor and it was grey screened.
My gut feel is something with the GPU driver didn't install correctly or caused an incompatibility. Any help on this would be appreciated I am completely lost on how to fix this and can't seem to access anything in the PC.
Hardware:
MSI B450 Gaming Plus
Ryzen 5 3600 (no dedicated graphics)
16GB Corsair Vengeance
Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe SSD
EVGA 700W Gold PSU
...Nvidia GTX 660
