If youcan start in safe mode, it could be an update causing it, a driver etc;

While in safemode, right click computer, click manage, click on event viewer, and look for warnings and click on the last one then double click on that to see if it is fixable by following any link on-line from the event.

Also whil in device manager click on devices, and look for warning triangles, to see if there is a dogy driver- click on any that do show, and if available click on roll back driver.
