    Hello,

    When booting my 2014 Blade, I see the bios, windows logo, but then a black screen. I have yo reboot it several times or pop into safe mode and then back out to fix the issue.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Had this same issue - had to do a clean windows install to fix.

    The Razer USB restore can cause issues as well - pay attention to what drivers are installed, I have seen some people have received drives with what appears to be old drivers/image of last year's config.

    Let me know if you have any issues.
