My old desktop (running Windows 10) has recently developed an annoying habit where it doesn't fire up first time when turned on. It starts to go & then doesn't complete the process, leaving me with a blank black screen. I have to manually turn it off at the wall & then turn it on again, sometimes 3,4,5 times before it will launch properly. If I leave it alone for an hour or more the black screen appears & pressing & clicking any number of buttons changes nothing.
Dunno what happened but I think this started around the same time I clicked 'close & update' instead of the normally chosen 'close' a couple of weeks back.
Is this a hard ware problem (cold start valve?) or software & anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?
