Hey! I am having this problem for quite a while and I am not sure why, I hope i can find it out here! :D
So I have installed ubuntu alongside my windows 8 computer (A DELL Vostro 5470 A-30), and everything got working well until suddenly one day the windows stopped working. I am not sure if it was due to an update/upgrade of my ubuntu, because both used to work normally. I don't know if it as boot problem also. I have installed ubuntu at the 14 version and upgraded it until the 16 version.
So my currently, when I try to run windows from my GRUB I get this black screen: https://i.stack.imgur.com/mh8sN.jpg
EDIT: Before it stopped working it worked with the black screen at the start, and then regular windows (after I installed the dual boot). I don't know if the black screen is or isn't the actual problem.
And it keeps on that screen until it restart by himself. After trying 3 times, the system repair automatically start, I tried all the repairs (restarting, restoring, ...). However many simply do not work while others I can't even start (poor windows). I tried some commands on prompt such as "scannow" or "bootxxx" or "chkdisk" and nothing worked (Also tried on live USB with windows). Here is a photo of my partitions (I don't know if the problem can be on that too): https://i.stack.imgur.com/QPf4M.png
I have no idea what can be happening or how to discover and fix it. Thanks!
