So i've been having this issue the last 6 months starting out as occasional failure of the PC to boot, here it would power up (gpu/pc fans and all lights running) but show no display or mouse/keyboard startup. All usb ports have power as well as my xbox controller can actively charge on all of them. Now this is gradually becoming worse, maybe at first once every 3 boot attempts or so to last week were i had to actively restart the computer over 30 times to get it to start. Key to...

First, there is virtually nothing wrong with it at all I've run every possible test I could think of from seeing if theres corrupt files in windows, my drivers etc. I've also looked at my GPU, nothing wrong with it. My entire case is clean, nothing is over heating, nothing is causing any spikes in CPU usage. I mean there is literally nothing wrong with it.

I have a problem with my Asus F55A-SX172DU (used for programming and university) + Windows 10 .

A few months ago it started to show me a black screen while booting after the windows logo.

After a couple restarts the machine could boot again (sometimes I had to restart 10+ times).

The issue kept appearing after reinstalling...
