Kindle Fire HD has black home screen- no icons

For roughly the past 24 hours or so, my Fire tablet has had a black home screen with no icons showing at all, only the top bar (with the time and notifications) and the bottom bar (with the back/home buttons) showing.

If I restart it, it shows back up but after a while it seems to go black again. I've had to keep ES File Explorer 'active' (or whatever you call it) so I can open other apps besides Farmville 2, FBReader and ES.

The tablet is just over a month old (it's a Christmas gift) and has only been online 2 times for maybe a total of 8 hours.

Device specific details that may be needed are...

• Fire HD 8 7th Gen

• OS is 5.4.01 updated on the 23rd
