I don’t know how to explain my problem anymore. I’m having a general black screen issue with my system, and I’d like to explain it in detail as follows:
When I first got the system, I was using it normally, but after a few months, the black screen issues started. When the black screen appears, the sounds from the system continue, but I can use the keyboard and mouse for about 5 seconds after the black screen appears, and then they stop working completely. I could hear the sounds from the game in the background or the people on Discord, but I couldn’t do anything at all.
After performing a hard reset, sometimes when I turned on the computer, I could hear the Windows startup sound, but I was still stuck on a black screen. While on this black screen, I could use the keyboard, but I couldn’t see the display at all
I managed the system this way until the BIOS update 3842 arrived.
After installing this update, when I enable the overclocking settings on my RAM, the system either fails to boot, crashes to a black screen upon booting, or freezes directly on that screen. I’m forced to perform a hard reset again.
After doing some research, I was told that the RAM modules installed on my motherboard were incompatible with the chipset and wouldn’t run stably
After that, I made a few adjustments in the BIOS and was able to use the computer for another week.
Then the problems started again; I was getting a black screen just like before.
This time, I reset the system to CMOS and started using the RAM in factory settings (JEDEC).
However, to no avail—even when using the factory settings, the system still experienced issues like a black screen or the display not appearing when I booted it up
After that, when I enabled the iGPU in the BIOS, my main screen remained black (connected to the graphics card) while the secondary monitor displayed an image (connected to the iGPU). When I checked the Task Manager, only the iGPU was visible—the graphics card wasn’t there. From this, I concluded that while the system was stuck on a black screen during boot, it seemed like it wasn’t recognizing the graphics card
In short, these are my issues. I haven’t been able to figure out which component in my system is causing the problem. I haven’t tested with a different graphics card or different RAM yet—I don’t have any RAM on hand right now, but I do have a different graphics card, and I’ll test with that soon.
So right now, I have two options: either the problem is with the RAM or the graphics card. Where do you think the problem lies, and what should I do?
I tried resetting the CMOS
I haven’t tried formatting
I tried using RAM in single-channel mode (the result was the same)
I uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics card drivers
I can’t think of anything else—please help, I’m about to lose my mind
I'd also like to add that when I get a black screen while performing any operation on the system, my main screen goes black directly (depending on the graphics card), while my other screen just freezes; I can't do anything, but the screen is still there (depending on the GPU).
