Introduction:
If you encounter a black screen when starting your computer, it can indicate a hardware or display issue. Follow these steps to troubleshoot.
Steps to Troubleshoot:
-
Check Monitor Connections: Ensure that the monitor is properly connected to the computer and powered on.
-
Test with Another Monitor: Connect your computer to a different monitor to rule out a display issue.
-
Boot into Safe Mode: Restart the computer and boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 or Shift + F8 (depending on the system) to see if the issue persists.
-
Update Display Drivers: Once in Safe Mode, update your display drivers via Device Manager.
-
Check for Loose Components: If you’re comfortable opening your computer, check for any loose internal components, particularly the graphics card and RAM.
-
Reset BIOS/UEFI Settings: Resetting the BIOS or UEFI to default settings can sometimes resolve startup issues.
