Windows 10 black screen with cursor

[Sid_4_]

Hi guys,

Just moved my computer back home, it was working perfectly fine yesterday. Set it all up here, now everytime I turn it on, the Windows logo will pop up with a small loading circle, cut out, and go to a black screen with a cursor. Keys don't work, and I cannot go into safe mode. I've read other threads and tried using Seatools, but that has no effect either. I'm completely lost, any suggestions?

Specs:
Saber tooth Z97 Mark 2
Intel(R) Core i5-4690K
Two EVGA GTX 790s
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120 GB (this is where I installed my OS)
I TB Hard Drive
16 GB Ballistix Sport Ram

OS
Windows 10

have you got a win 10 installer? If not, dl this on another pc: Win 10 Media creation tool Run it and make a Win 10 Install USB (I assume you don't have a DVD drive). Its just a boot disc really

change Bios so USB is first in boot order, ssd second
boot from installer, on screen after languages choices, select repair this pc, not install
Select troubleshoot
select advanced
select start up repair - this will scan pc and hopefully fix start up - will ask for logon details

See how that goes.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to do a hard reboot, unplug the PC from the wall outlet then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If it will still not boot up, while in the black screen with the mouse cursor, press CTRL, ALT and DEL all at the same time and if it will show the lock screen select Task Manager.
- Once opened, click on File tab and select New Task.
- Type in explorer.exe and see if it will load your desktop screen.
- If it will still not work I would suggest just reloading Windows 10.

Might go into BIOS and check the drive boot order, make sure the correct drive is 1st priority
