Computer starts up but doesn't load windows

[Fabian Flaa]

Hi, as the title states, my computer starts up but doesn't load windows. 

I've never done any tinkering with the BIOS or anything like that ever, so i have no idea how to work with it. 

What happens is that when i click the power button, everything starts up, the "gigabyte" message is displayed on the screen. After that the windows logo shows but then the screen goes black. I'm positive that my monitor works properly, and suspect the bios may be out of date. Don't know what bios version im using, or how to update/find which version i have. I have restarted the computer fully several times and get the same result. Also my computer has been refusing to turn on sometimes lately, which i solved by unplugging and replugging the power supply to the pc. 

Specs are as follows:

CPU: intel i5 6500

GPU: amd rx470 xfx triple x

MOBO: gigabyte z170 gaming K3

RAM: 2x4gb ballisitix sport

PSU: EVGA 750W 80+ Bronze

Also a 240gb ssd and a 1tb hdd

 

Answers appreciated!

It gets to Windows so likely nothing to do with BIOS.  Tried safe mode?
