Question Win 10 Laptop Restarts to Black Screen. Boots from Shutdown Normally

Hello all!

I've got an older ASUS ROG 17" Laptop that I recently did a Windows 10 re-install on with some Restart woes.

Though I can boot from a Full Shutdown normally to full functionality, when I try to restart the laptop it stops at a black screen instead of proceeding to start Windows.
I'm thinking this is a Windows 10 problem rather than a hardware issue, but I am not sure.

I already tried restarting with the battery out and Laptop plugged in. Didn't change/help the problem. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

It went to restart after Windows install and I've got a black screen again.

Booted after holding the power button to turn it off and it began to work on updates. It tried to restart again and got another black screen.
