I have a pretty annoying issue: Whenever I turn off my PC, and then turn it on later, it will show the Windows spinner but then the screen will turn black; and the monitors will turn off after a couple of seconds. When I turn it off with the power button and turn it on again, it works fine.

 

The same thing happens when I do a Reboot.

 

I'm using sleep most of the times, which works fine.

 

I did a lot of Googling, and the common recommendation is to turn off Fastboot. I have turned it off via Control Panel => Power Options => Choose what the power button does. Doesn't solve the problem.

 

Any suggestions?

Do you have any program that tries to clean up pagefile before shutdown?

Have you tried change to no pagefile, restart then create it again as managed by system?

Have you ran a chkdsk to make sure the drive is OK (or looked at SMART counters)?
