Not sure why this is happening. Everything was fine on my PC last night, I haven't installed anything new recently, etc. I turned it on this morning and Windows boots fine and everything, I can even enter my password but after that I'm stuck on a black screen with my mouse. I can move the cursor around and go to press CTRL+ALT+DEL but the task manager will freeze when I open it.
I've tried the following:
Where should I go from here? I don't know why this is happening and I really hope I don't have to lose everything and start over for no good reason.
My PC specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro (was on latest update)
CPU: AMD A6-6400K 3.9 GHz
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A55M
GPU: ASUS Radeon HD 7950
RAM: 8.0 GB
I've tried the following:
Booting into safe mode with command prompt to do a verification scan. it detected no violations.
Booting into safe mode with networking. The same thing happened, black screen with just my cursor.
Performing a system restore. It didn't change anything.
Where should I go from here? I don't know why this is happening and I really hope I don't have to lose everything and start over for no good reason.
