I purchased a new desktop computer a few days ago with Win 8.1. After installing various programs and updating windows I am getting the completely black screen with nothing working when I turn the computer on or restart it. If I then press the reset button on my Fractal Design R5 case it will boot up normally. 

My setup is

Windows 8.1

EVGA GTX 970 ssc [with latest drivers] 

Asus z97 Pro Gamer

i7 4790K

16 GB ram

Samsung 500GB 850 EVO

Cooler Master Hyper 412S

There seems to be a lot of different causes for the black screen at startup. Does the fact that I am able to boot up after by pressing reset narrow the problem down?

I remember getting an error message about CPU fan the first time it booted. Could this have to do with it?
