Windows 8 Booting to Black Screen
Posted on 2015-01-27
I have not used my custom built computer for a few months due to moving. Before I moved it was working fine. I finally got the time to hook it up but when I turned it on, it was going very slow. The blue Windows 8 logo came up with the spinning bubbles at the bottom. I waited for about 10 min and it finally loaded the desk top background and very slowly loaded the desktop and programs. I restarted the computer and sense then the same the same thing happens but after the Windows 8 boot screen, the computer just goes to black. I am able to boot into Ubuntu, on the same computer, just fine and access the Windows 8 partition. Is there any way to fix this problem? I rather not have to reload windows :-(
