When this problem started, I would just reset the computer and get the message "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this." I would then boot into safe mode and just shut the computer down

That is part of what I can't figure out. I never changed the hardware so I can't figure out what is causing that error. All my hardware is the same as when I purchased my computer.When this problem started, I would just reset the computer and get the message "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this." I would then boot into safe mode and just shut the computer down
What was this change/upgrade that you had carried out, before the problem started?
Additionally, please check to see if the cables are firmly in place and if the removable components (HDD, GFX Card etc.) work with another computer.
You did not post the make or model of your computer or motherboard.
What I would suggest at this point, is checking the video card if it is an expansion type card, remove the video card from its slot, and re-seat the video card again making sure it is firmly and securely locked into place.
Your video card or the expansion slot contacts may be suffering from oxidation.
Doing this re-seating process will disturb this oxidation and things should return back to normal again.
If this is not the case, better advice could be offered if you please post the make and model number of your computer or motherboard.
Bruce.
