Guys, there are several Black Screen modes created by Microsoft Updates since August, Sept, Nov, Dec. It is sad to see all of this going on, and there are several causes / solutions.
The best you can do is to back up all of your stuff and do an F9 OS reset and hope Microsoft doesn't shoot itself in the foot again
🙂This isn't Asus fault, and Asus aren't set up to do Windows debugging for users, so it is best to work it out yourselves by doing an F9 OS reset before calling Asus to see if that restores normal operation - as that is what Asus will ask you to do before approving RMA.
If you get an ok boot occasionally and can get in to the OS to debug, then here is a long list of debugging / solution URL's
https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+8.1+black+screen+on+boot&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8Please try the F9 reset, or the debugging / fix solutions - try to pick one that times with your failure - Nov/Dec ones are more likely by now.
If the F9 OS reset works, then be sure and turn off Windows Updates for right now, and do Updates manually, being careful to note which ones you have done if the problem comes back - as you will want to make that update Hidden so it doesn't install again - the list of solution/fix sites will list KB updates known to cause the problem so don't install those.
And, please come back and let us know how it works out
🙂
