I built myself a new computer earlier this week and I am running Windows 7 Pro on it. The first day or so the computer worked fine, however, a couple days later when I turned it on it did the black screen and asked if I wanted to boot in safe mode because apparently the computer had not been shut down properly (it had been, not sure why it did that).
Anyways since then I have had problems getting my computer to boot up properly. I turn it on and it gives me a black screen, however, I can still move the cursor around without a problem. Also it starts up relatively normally, the logo for the motherboard still comes on, and so does the "Starting Windows" option. After it does its loading thing I hear the start up sound Windows makes through my speakers, but nothing happens on the screen. When I boot in safe mode everything works ok, and if I do a point in system restore it works alright. In addition the computer restarts itself just find and turns back on normally when it is working. This only happens after I shut it down for the night and try and get it going again the next morning.
Also as I was typing this post after about 5-10 minutes my computer went to sleep and woke up on its own and then it worked normally. Any idea what is going on with this thing? As I am typing this on my laptop, I am able to use my PC fine again.
Some build information if it will help too:
OS: Windows 7 Pro
CPU: Intel i5 4670k
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
RAM: 8GB(2x4GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport
SSD: Plextor PX-128 MS5 Pro
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1 TB
PSU: Corsair CX750M
ODD: Samsung 24x DVD
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 Evo
I appreciate any help you guys can give. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I couldn't find a better place though. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will be happy to clarify.
