Ever since pressing the restart button while inside windows 10 on the HAF 912 case the screen turns grey after the UEFI splash screen. If I restart, it does it every time but only sometimes when cold starting. Also does it when I click restart in the start menu.
When i press one of the command keys del/f11 while at the UEFI splash screen it will freeze sometimes and I will have to press the restart button, this has started at the same time as the restart glitch.
I think this is a Windows problem because when I do a fresh reinstall these problems are gone pressing the restart on the case somehow caused this. If I press the restart button while at the bios I dont get the grey screen. I don't want to have to reinstall. All my drivers are up to date including the UEFI.

Sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum.

This is a strange problem and I can't think of whats wrong. I don't get bluescreens or errors. I got one bluescreen a week ago long before this problem started it said 'memory management error' I think. I have tested with the windows memory diagnostics two times. I got the bluescreen while on chrome so to test I opened hundreds of tabs to use all 8gb of ram no problem at all. Anyone?
