So firstly I've included a video link to accurately show the problem I'm having. Secondly, I'm going to be as detailed as possible because this is driving me crazy now!

As you can see from the video, windows doesn't boot up past the loading page, the little windows logo appears very briefly, the display then appears to turn off(although the monitor doesn't appear to lose signal to the PC or lose power). The display then comes back on immediately but it's completely black and displays nothing.(this is hard to see in the video but it happens and it happens every time)
I have been struggling with this issue for a while now, the only way I can get the pc to boot is by clearing CMOS, making changes to BIOS settings (none in particular) and also if I reconnect hardware or make any hardware changes that seems to work too. The only issue with this is that it's a temporary fix, on a good day I'll get 3 restarts of the pc with no issues and then it'll be back to not booting windows again. On a bad day it doesn't work at until after a couple of attempts.
There are then the other attempts to fix it that I've already tried: The issue has followed me from windows 8.1 to windows 10. I have updated my
BIOS. I have updated my drivers. I have changed to a 500w PSU. I have bought new RAM. I have reverted back to multiple restore points.
All of this has been unsuccessful. The only fix that did seem to work for a while was rolling back my GPU driver to an older version. I did this because the issue seemed to begin after updating my GPU drivers. Seen as the issue has continued though I have no idea if this was purely a coincidence? I am feeling at the moment that it may we be something to do with my GPU but I'm not clued up enough to make the diagnosis and i won't buy a new one on a hunch.
My hardware and OS is the following:
CPU: Athlon x4 860k
MOBO: gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-wifi
RAM: x2 4GB corsair vengeance 1866mhz
GPU: sapphire dual x hd7790 1GB
PSU: corsair cx430m
OS: Windows 10
As I say though, I have tested Different RAM and a bigger 500w psu as these are what people have previously thought to be the problem.
Thanks in advance.
