Where it has stopped is the point where it loads the GPU instructions.

@beanisverygood - Restart your system and press the Shift (⇧) key to enter into Safe Mode from a USB keyboard. Did that work? If it did then you do indeed have a bad dedicated GPU board.

Reference: Mac startup key combinations

Sounds like you are trying to use a wireless keyboard.

This sounds like a GPU failure. To be sure boot up u8sing an external monitor or TV, use a wired keyboard so you can boot in Safe Mode and also be able to reset the NVRAM.

A lot of these cards can be fixed with a simple reflow of the GPU card.

Or you can replace it:
