Hello, everyone.
My PC was working fine a couple days ago. It booted up perfectly with no issues at all. Out of nowhere, the other day, when I booted up my PC from sleep mode the monitor wouldn't turn on. I tried turning the PC off and back on again and it finally turned on to reveal my desktop after a minute.
Today, I tried turning on the PC from sleep mode again, and the monitor wouldn't turn on at all. So, I tried turning the PC off and back on and it booted up, went to the Windows 8 icon screen with the loading circle just before the lock-screen/login-screen and the monitor just kept shutting off at the loading screen repeatedly.
Finally, it prompted me that Windows 8 had failed to start and suggested to recover/repair it. I did so and it failed. I shut it down at least three more times after that before it worked and let me log in to my desktop. Also, when I booted up my PC the log-in screen icons and other Windows 8 icons were strange squares instead of the usual arrows and whatnot. I have no idea how to fix this either.
I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this problem as my PC was working perfectly just two days ago. Now, I'm worried about turning off my PC and facing the same issue again. If anyone could please help me figure out this issue and hopefully resolve it I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
