Crashing to login screen

You have the same processor as I do. I think it's some kind of race condition or something timing out. I solved it by doing the following:

boot to your bios
change the clock speed down so your processor is running at ~3 ghz

Now it works.

Note: changing my processor speed using other methods (gigabyte control panel, etc.) did NOT work. None of the other tips about compatibility mode, etc., worked. Only slowing my clock speed down in the BIOS. Now it works 100% of the time.
