was playing rainbow six siege and it froze so I had to force shutdown. When I rebooted, my desktop icons had a pink streak through them and my mouse was unavailable. This persisted every time after booting though there were a few times where I could use chrome for around 5 minutes before it failed. I restarted the PC in safe-mode and used DDU to get rid of the drivers and then I reinstalled and I also did a windows update. This error has now been delayed everytime I open my desktop however right on startup I get the notification (disply driver has stopped and recovered...). Can somebody please help me and suggest fixes or tell me if something is fried due the unexpected shutdown?

It's sound to me like something has gone wrong with your GPU, do you have a spare GPU that you can try or maybe just try using onboard graphics to see if it still does it? Also make sure to follow your post :)

I have tried using the onboard and it seems to work, but my GPU is also working right now because I typed this thread while on it.

Then something may have happened to Windows or your HDD (unlikely but possible it was the drive) when you had to force shutdown. I had a problem similar to this once but I didn't have any issues with the screen. My PC just randomly stopped playing some games after having to force shutdown, the only way I ended up fixing it was by reinstalling windows, maybe you can just try Windows repair off a boot deivce first and if worse comes to worse a reinstall might be the best option to try and repair it.

Windows repair didnt work so I went ahead and reinstalled windows (keeping personal documents) and it seems to be working again. Im almost positive somehow windows became corrupted because after taking a closer look at it, the red boot device LED was on everytime I recieved that error and at one point an audio loop began and the PC froze. After cleaning up the entire PC it seems to be properly working but I will post updates if I need further help. Thanks I appreciate your time!
