My Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is freezing on bootup

[Android Central Question]

It crashed in the middle of running an app, (Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes) then went to a black screen, when it got back to the Samsung galaxy Note8 screen, it freezes there, and the graphics glitch out with a bunch of colorful pixels/static. I can force it to reboot (with Power and Volume Down) but it gets stuck at the same place. I tried following steps to get into factory settings by holding down Volume Up Bixby and Power, but it still gets stuck at the same point.

Welcome to Android Central! Try removing the SD card and rebooting again. If that doesn't work, see if you can boot into Safe Mode: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36242
