Looks like graphics card problem. If it is a dedicated gpu, try reinstalling it?

well u just need to remove the old driver using DDU for more safer way to sort of make sure it wont happen your new gpu.

next have u try using other cables for your display? like VGA, DVI, etc.

How old is your graphics card? If it's out of warranty, last chance can try to 'bake' it in an oven. Must be conventional oven and not microwave. Supposedly the heated solder will flow over cracks and open circuits... :s22:

Pls DUN bake it. This is a hardware not food. Dun contaminate the microwave. PLS no no no.

Comparing apples and oranges m8.
What you see as a "breakdown", someone else sees it as a "learning experience".

2 different people buy car. Some just drive for work, some like to zhng. Both are not wrong.

if not u can try to access to safe mode,

not sure if this steps still works or not :

1) reboot ur pc
2) press 'F8' multiple time or after bios screen press and hold
3) select "safe mode"

if u still cant work need to search for how to go to safe boot in windows 8/8.1/10

That txt file might give you some clues of what happen. 1 thing notice how come your windows is in drive D. In order to see the txt file, need utility like paragon recovery, is free download and able to bootup to see your drive data.

https://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/

Not sure if this is the link above.

Last time my laptop HD problem cant bootup, i use this to bootup and copy all the data into an ext HD and get a new HD.
