Cannot boot into Win7 with HD 5450, worked fine before

Hi,
I am having a weird issue with my external Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. With my desktop it worked fine for over 1 year. For last couple of weeks It was not in use as I was using the built in graphics card.

Today when I plugged in this card again, it wont boot into win7. It is stuck at "Starting windows". However, it works fine when I enter into safe mode, no issue or whatever. I tried in many ways, then attempted to reinstall the windows or upgrading to windows 8 but even the installer gets stuck while loading.

Let me brief my pc spec: It is an i3 1st generation computer with 2 GB DDR3 Ram with built in Graphics card. I need the external graphics card as I use two different monitors.

I took the device out couple of times, cleaned it, checked the cables, put it back but no luck. Then deleted the graphics driver in safe mode and restarted , still not working. any idea?

Regards
