So far my experience with windows 10 for the few weeks ive been running it have been....quite infuriating. Rebooting has been a colossal nightmare. I came home from work to have my computer still on, but no display just a black screen. Took me 1 hour, and nearly 30 attempts to get past the blue windows loading screen with the spinning dots. Freezes on the dots, freezes on "please wait" and freezes on "Automatic Repair" And once in a blue moon i'll make it to the login screen where it shows the backround and time, just to have it freeze again as im typing my password. It finally worked as i plugged in a super old school keyboard(with the circular connector) had my logitech mouse+keyboard unplugged. FRIGGIN MIRACLE i finally got it to load into windows an hour and 15 minutes later of repeatedly having to power down my computer. If i knew windows 10 was going to be a giant dick of a headache i would've just stuck with windows 7, atleast that one isnt broken as hell. I have windows 10 on my Samsung 970 Evo NVME 250gb ssd

I understand this is a problem for many people which i would've thought was fixed by now seeing as this isnt really a "new" OS.

I don't even want to restart my computer again, but i guess i dont have to, when i get home from work i fear my display will be turned off again and i'll spend another century trying to get it to boot back up.

What exactly could be causing this, and what can i do to get it fixed?

I actually didnt try to boot into safe mode. I was about to try that but i ended up getting into windows. It'll probably freeze too, or who knows what. Maybe it'll tell me to go back to windows 7, which i'd be happy to do so if windows 10 keeps messing up
 
You have not assured us that the OS was properly installed. Follow these steps . If they no work, then you know its a hardware problem and you can start throwing money at it.

Create an up to date USB install media by following the steps outlined here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

Then disconnect or disable all hdd /ssd drives but the one where you will install windows.

Insert the USB media tool, with the windows install files, into the board. Next, startup and go to the board setup and ensure the board is configured to use UEFI boot settings, CSM is enabled. and SATA mode set to AHCI.

On the motherboard boot device menu, select the command that identifies both the firmware mode and the device. For example, select UEFI: USB Drive, Windows Boot Manager: USB will also work, and list that device in the first boot slot on the board.

Reboot. Install begins.

When choosing an installation type, select Custom. On new disks, the drive will show a single area of unallocated space. If there are partitions, select each one and then "delete".

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was booted into UEFI mode, partitions the drive using the GPT and begins the installation.

NOTE : Any data on the drive will be lost

I'm at a loss here as to how to fix this nonsense. I can't update to the latest version 1809. Windows hounds me every damn hour to restart because an update is ready and if i do restart i'm at an endless loop of it freezing on rebooting, freezing on restarting. My display turns on and off during POST and in the bios, but immediately stops once im at the windows login screen. I ran the windows memory diagnostic test and it didnt find any errors, but it froze afterwards when it restarted on the windows screen with the dots.

Hardware is

MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon
32GB G.Skill TridentZ
MSI GTX 1070
Samsung evo 970 250gb NVME that i have windows installed on


In the bios under the Boot menu i have it at Legacy+UEFI. I changed it to just UEFI and it always went straight into bios and not to the windows screen.

I even tried to do a repair/reinstall by having it boot up the usb drive my windows came on and that even gave me an error. Yet ive run the troubleshooter and maintenance in windows and it didnt detect anything.

I havent the slightest clue as to what the problem is. When i get into windows and it doesnt freeze, my computer runs flawlessly, games run fine and everything.
