Windows 10: Win10 Pro x64 Temporary Black Screen After Login

So I recently bought a Sager NP8268-s gaming laptop from XoticPC and here are the specs it came with:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4170MQ 2.5-3.5 Ghz

GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970M 6GB

Storage: SSD - 128GB Micron m600 msata

HDD - 1TB 7200RPM (SATA II - 3gb/s)

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

When I first started it up, it was perfect. Fast boot time (under 15 sec), fluid response, no problems whatsoever. However, after 7 days, I logged in and there was a black screen with my cursor that was there for 30 seconds before the desktop showed up. I can do CTRL+ALT+DEL and the menu shows up, but after clicking task manager, the screen still stays black. After 30 seconds, the desktop flickers into view, and it works flawlessly after that. I tried starting my laptop up in safe mode and the same thing happens.


So I did a clean install and didn't install any of my regular programs except for the most essential programs, and after 7 days, without fail, it did it again.


I decided to upgrade my RAM, thinking that would help, so I stripped my previous laptop of its RAM (16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
from an MSI GS70 Laptop) and used it for my new laptop. After I put it in, I had a total of 24GB RAM. I did another clean install, and again, after 5-7 days, the same black screen issue happened.


I tried disabling and re-enabling fast boot, and did multiple clean installs with different program install configurations. My drivers have been updated to the latest versions right after a clean install so its not a driver issue. While its not a pc breaking issue, it is extremely annoying.


I should mention that this black screen only appears after doing a shut down and boot or rebooting. It doesn't appear after waking up from sleep or hibernation. Everything else works flawlessly and this laptop handles like a dream when playing video games.


I understand its not as big of an issue as others are having with windows 10, but if anyone has any input, let me know. Thanks.

Black Screen after Windows 10 update, even in safe mode.

I have performed Safe Mode (with Low Resolution graphic), several ways:

• First by pressing Shift, while choosing Restart (on the Login screen, which is the only GUI I see) and the go to Advanced Mode. Result: Black Screen after login succeeds
• Second, booted dowloaded Win10 DVD ISO from USB drive, and selected Repair. Then choosed the same Advanced Mode - Boot with Low Resolution graphic. Result: Black Screen after login succeeds

The suggested Control Panel setting, or changes to settings: Its impossible. I have no GUI to get to Control Panel !

Several Boot attempts, after having battery removed for a while, is also giving Result: Black Screen after login succeeds.

I have a tiny Asus - Power left, gadget presenting itself, after Login. No Desktop, Black Screen.

Trying to start Task Scheduler (Ctrol+ Alt + Delete) shows the options: Logoff, Lock, etc

But choosing Task Scheduler shows the 'timer clock' for a few moments, and the screen gets black again.

My remaining hope, is a BIOS update may help...
