Fixed it! Turns out it was something bad that windows update had installed. All I needed to do to fix it was boot to a live OS environment and delete: C:\Windows\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT Yay! See here for a more detailed explanation

It seems it may indeed be a problem with a recent update!! A lot of people are experiencing this exact problem right now, and this guide may help you Good luck!

I'm having the exact same problem, just start happening 2 days ago. I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting these things, but I'm totally stumped by this. I've confirmed mine is absolutely NOT a hardware error. Did you by chance install windows updates on the last working windows session? My...
