This morning I had booted up my PC and after logging in and an unusual long loading time, my screen went black and would flicker my background every few seconds. I then noticed my usb peripherals that were plugged into USB 3.0 ports weren't working. My screen showed the menu bar on the bottom but when I tried to hover over it, my mouse gave me the not responding icon. I also tried to open task manager but that too wasn't responding.
Immediately I went to restore my computer to a working point but after it saying the restoration was complete and me resetting it, I still was met with a black screen. I then tried safe mode with a command promt. When logged in with safe mode, I was met with the error of "sihost.exe unknown hard error." I waited and was able to log in but my screen was still a flickering black screen plus the menu bar and command prompt. With the command prompt, I tried to use sfc /scannow but it always stopped at 51% saying "windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation." I then tried to open another admin account but the error "c:\windows\system32\iphlpapi.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains can error." My next step was chkdsk /f but that didn't seem to change anything. I have no other restore points and resetting my windows would like to be a last resort. Any help or ideas is appreaciated.
