Windows 10: Desktop unusable after log-in - normal restart options not working.

Hi all. My PC starts fine and the sign-in/lock screen is normal, but when I enter my PIN, the desktop is black. The start button and taskbar are flashing on and off, but are unusable. I can't use Win+R, Win+I etc. to view settings, but I can use CTR+ALT+DEL to open the task manager though it seems to be constantly "tabbing in and out". As a test, I used the task manager to open PowerPoint, which loaded ok, though the start button and taskbar kept flashing, and there was also PowerPoint, and there was the same issue of constant tabbing in/out of the app.I've used Shift+Restart and tried vario

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

Desktop works, but unusable.

So..This is a weird thing that happened to my recently first build.
Specs for lazy people who don't want to click on the specs thingy
Processor: AMD A4-3400
Memory: Patriot Sector Five 8GB DDR3-1333mHz
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6570
Harddrives:

• 160GB Western Digital Caviar SATA II
• 80GB Western Digital Caviar SATA II
• 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black SATA II

Monitor: Dell E176FP
Powersupply: "High Quality" 550W

So I went to go use my computer this morning it kept on turning off the display [put the monitor in standby] and then randomly turn on and go into a boot loop.
So I told it to do a Automatic Restore [Windows 8 [8400]]..When I came back from work, I powered it on. Then I noticed there was no BIOS screen either, just monitor in standby.
It worked perfectly last night. Here are the Things I attempted to help

• Tested with VGA, HDMI, and DVI
• jumped the CMOS thingy.
• Turned off the system for awhile with the power cable out
• Took out the cards out of my motherboard
• Tried plugging it to the motherboard VGA.

Any Ideas?
