I am witnessing a very weird situation on my Asus Laptop, running on Windows 8.1.
Basically, if I shutdown my computer and restart it all works fine.
However, if I reboot the computer using the reboot button from the Windows charms, the following happens:
- Windows shuts down
- I see the Asus "welcome" screen of Republic of Gamers
- The logo disappears and I end up on a black screen which simply won't go away.
Now, I have noticed that, by pression on the power button, I could get the notebook to go to sleep, wake it up and I would end up on the login screen. Yes, BUT, once I log in, some application appear really blurry like if it was not the right resolution or something.
I guess there is some drivers issue going on there, but I can't quite figure out what's happening.
Do you have an idea?
Example
Firefox looks like this:

Should look like this, and looks like this if I do a shutdown and then start again:

Setup
I have a Geforce GTX 660M graphic card, and I tried to uninstall completely the drivers using a cleaner and then reinstall it. It didn't change the problem. Could it be windows update that tries to install something on reboot (is there a windows update queue or something?)?
