Hey guys. Below is my issue and thus far, everything I've tried to fix it.

Issue:
When turning on my computer after hibernation/shut down I cannot log on. I see; BIOS, Windows 10 logo, and then a black screen with a mouse pointer when I move my mouse and nothing else. It also makes the Windows sound. Then even when left for hours, nothing helps.

Background
Recently upgraded to Windows 10 and purchased Battlefield 1. I have played this for hours, then shut down my computer and upon trying to turn it on again I get the above problem. When I first upgraded I lkept getting BSOD's with BAD_POOL_HEADER.

I often find after rebooting/turning off and restarting manually via the power button, that I'll get the screen with F1 and F2 options around CMOS/BIOS settings not being known and to load default or enter setup. As soon as I do this, and select the correct date and time, I can log in - but my Windows date is some year in the future; 2407 and other random ones. I go and change that via Windows and all is well, but next time I go to turn my computer on after a shut down, i'll have the issues all over again. Rinse and repeat. Sure, I could never turn my computer off but f that!

Things I've done
- Fresh install of Windows 10, wiped all files.
- Unplugged the second monitor (1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI).
- Bought a new CMOS battery.
- Updated my BIOS.
- Run Driver Booster to update all drivers. (Rolled back to the one before the latest NVidia as read this was the issue, though my friend runs it fine, Microsoft Framework was something that wasn't up to date). ''[347.09, GM204] Blank screen observed on an ASUS Tiled display when system
resumes from shutdown or hibernation with Fast boot option enabled from BIOS.
[1591053]'' - This is in the newest driver notes, which i haven't installed. Also removed Nvidia Geforce Experience as I read online that others had the same problem with BF1 and Nvidia GFE.
- Removed all unnecessary programs, software, etc from startup.
- Removed the need for a Windows password.
- Turned off fastboot/fast startup.
- Checked my registry.
- Tried updating Windows 10 through Windows Update.
- Run check disk.
- Removed my old drivers for GFX card using Device Manager.
- Tried Repair for Windows using a bootable USB.

I'm at a loss as to what to do; I've redownlaoded BF1 files 3 times (50gb each time) because of this crap - and because Origin doesn't read the files are on my system when I copy them over from my external hard drive.

I just want to be able to use my computer normally! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, and Merry Xmas.

Oh, my system is:

980de3/u3s3 MOBO
AMD FX4130 3.8GHZ
8gb RAM
GTX 960 4GB
