Black screen after windows logo
Howdy friends
My PC specs
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Mobo
AMD FX 6100 CPU
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3
Crucial MX 100 - 250 GB SSD
Seagate 500 GB + 160 GB HDD
ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB GPU
Cooler Master 500W PSU
So today morning when I turned on my computer, after the windows logo, the screen went black. No cursor, nothing. I have not added any hardware to my PC recently
I tried logging into Safe Mode and was able to do so. I did a system restore and then was able to boot without any issues. However, when I restarted, it again got stuck post that Windows Logo screen
I uninstalled my display driver and was able to login normally. After the driver installed on it's own, I restarted and it got stuck again.
Then I unplugged the VGA cable from my PCI GPU and plugged it into my onboard graphics port. I changed the primary graphics adapter in the BIOS and was able to login without any issues. I downloaded the onboard graphics driver from ASUS website (AMD Catalyst) and when I restarted, I got a BSOD and it went into a loop of restarting > BSOD > restart.
I have attempted startup repair, system restore but nothing seems to work. I can however, intermittently login without any problem. But 8 out of 10 times, I am getting stuck past the Windows Logo screen

..and many more.
Please advise what might have gone wrong here. I have not installed any hardware or software on my PC recently and didn't even get any windows update last night.
Is there a tool which I can run at bootup that will diagnose and find out what is causing the problem?
Kindly help
Many thanks
