Problem:
I was rendering something in blender(with the cpu). I look away for 5 minutes and when i look back the screen is completely grey and it won't change no matter what i do. So i force shut down my pc. But it won't boot anymore. It gets to the windows loading screen, then a graphical glitch appears and it stops outputting video.
What i did next:
I feared the worst so i pulled out my trusty win10 liveboot on a usb and it booted fine from it. So next after 3 interrupted boots windows started its recovery thing, i ran the fix startup issues option but it did not find anything. Then i booted in safe mode-it worked fine- and i uninstalled the gpu drivers using DDU then restarted. This time windows booted normally (in 640*480 ) and i went straight to download new drivers. I left the room for a few mins and when i came back the screen was grey again. I haven't been able to boot windows normally again, not even after disabling all startup programs and non-microsoft services, and uninstalling blender. Safe mode works fine. Reliability report shows 2 reports on the day of the crash.
Other things:
Safe mode still works after 15-20 mins
The gpu is detected correctly in device manager
The settings app crashes as soon as i try going to "bluetooth and other devices"
