I would suggest you to disconnect the power cable from the system and hold the power button down for 20 seconds, to discharge “Static Flea Power”, after that connect power cable and restart your machine.

In case issue still persists please disconnect all external peripherals from the system and follow the above process once again and check.

Also, I would suggest you to boot your system in Safe Mode with Networking. Please switch on the computer and start tapping the F8 key which would take you to Advanced Boot Option screen. Using the up and down arrow key, select “Safe Mode with Networking” to boot the computer into Safe Mode. If it’s working fine in safe mode you can try System Restore and take the system to a prior date when it was working fine. To perform System Restore click on the link below:
