My pc is turning on with the fans and the lights as well as my keyboard lights but no display, but after trying yesterday it went on bios and I saved the settings without changing anything. After that I restarted it because it went on black screen again. Upon restarting, it said updating your system abd after 100%, it saud restarting but it turned black again (no display). I tried powering it off and on again, still no display. I also tried reseating my rams, cleaning it using eraser. Tried changing my thermal paste, tried the cmos battery method. Still no display (black screen). Please help me I think I can't afford consulting this at the repair shop

I use a laptop with a larger monitor attached so it's really annoying to have to keep opening the laptop to manually change it back to what should be. What's weird is that I haven't had this problem before, it's been able to calmly stay on Display 2 without any issued before.

I have Windows 10 Home, 22H2, with OS Build: 19045.6456

I'm using an LGTV Monitor as my secondary display, the laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad.

I've already tried resetting the driver with Win+Ctrl+Shift+B

I'm having a frustrating issue with my brand new laptop. The display will suddenly turn completely black out of nowhere.

​Here is what happens:

​The screen goes black, and the display driver reset shortcut (Win + Ctrl + Shift + B) doesn't work.

​I am forced to perform a hard shutdown by holding the power button.

​Once I boot back up, the graphics driver getting disabled , and I have to manually reinstall it every single time in the device manager.

​I ran the hardware diagnostics through Lenovo Vantage and everything passed.

​Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know of a fix?

I play every game in windowed mode because when in fullscreen mode, once it entered fullscreen it stays for a while but then black screens, sometime it will come back but sometimes it just stays there but the game is still running perfectly just can’t see it. What could be the issue here?

Ryzen 5 5500G
16GB 3200Mhz
1TB NVme

I just use APU no dedicated video card, and the games I play is Valorant, CS2, NBA2K16, can’t play them in fullscreen mode but I am getting decent FPS in game 60 to 100 low settings, I am also suspecting my monitor

Hello everyone!

My monitor suddenly stopped working today, and I'm trying to figure out if it's completely dead or if there's a fix I haven't tried yet.

The Issue: I played on my PC for about 2 hours today, turned it off, and came back an hour later. The monitor won't turn on at all no display and no power LED indicator light.

Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:

• Power Cable Swap: I own two of the exact same monitor. I swapped the power cable with my working monitor, but it made no difference. The original cable works fine on the second monitor.
• Power Cycle / Static Discharge: I unplugged the power cable, held the monitor's power button for 60 seconds, and plugged it back in. Still no life/LED light.

My Questions:

1. Is the monitor's internal power supply (PSU) or mainboard fried, or is there any other trick to revive it?
2. If it's dead, what replacements should I consider? I'm looking for a 34" 21:9 Ultrawide, 1440p, 120Hz+ monitor.

Thanks in advance for the help!

So today I dropped off an old pc to a friend who didn't have one and everything seems to work except when he tries to connect an hdmi cord or any usb the pc doesn't pick them up as plugged in. The pc itself has an integrated graphics CPU (an amd a8 7680 Radeon 7) And he computer had been sitting in a box for a few months and we've been trying all day to trouble shoot issues with it and nothing has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the 2nd laptop with which I have found graphics card issue without an apparent solution. I tried formatting, I tried different drives, different drivers, different combinations of drivers, disabling services, disabling tasks. The whole deal.

What's the solution? Flipping the laptop charger upside down and touching the cables around to remove electromagnetic interference. I have to do that about twice a day.

The house is not the issue, per se, because it happens in another country as well.

Should I wrap all cables in electromagnetic protective tape? Should I install ferrite cores on all cables associated with the system?

Many thanks.

URGENT: PC keeps randomly restarting — completely stuck

I’m seriously stuck with this and need help diagnosing it.

My PC started randomly restarting about 3 days before the SSD/RAM replacement. It would suddenly lose power and reboot during normal use.

The technician told me the old HDD was failing and that the motherboard needed servicing. He thoroughly cleaned and serviced the motherboard, and reapplied thermal paste to both the CPU and the smaller motherboard heatsink.

I then replaced the HDD with a new 256GB SATA SSD, replaced the RAM, and installed a completely fresh Windows 10.

The exact same problem is still happening.

I also tried:

SSD + HDD connected

Only SSD connected

Only HDD connected

The problem persists in every configuration.

Windows boots normally, I log in, and after a short while the PC suddenly loses power, the LEDs go off, and it restarts.

At this point I’m honestly completely helpless and desperate. This PC is extremely important to me, and I’ve already spent money replacing parts and servicing the motherboard, yet I still don’t know what is actually failing.

The problem started before the SSD/RAM replacement and survived:

Motherboard servicing

New SSD

New RAM

Fresh Windows installation

Different HDD/SSD configurations

My specs

256GB SATA SSD

1TB HDD

8GB DDR3 RAM

Gigabyte H61M-S1 Rev. 2.0 motherboard

No dedicated GPU

Intex 450 Techno PSU

Please help me figure this out. I genuinely don’t know what else I can do at this point.

My pc suddenly turns off mid studying. Then it automatically turns on but the monitor and mouse is not turning on. I tired to move the ram, but it only worked when i moved it on a different slot then put it back to its original slot. Then when i was using it, it turned off again, now the monitor and mouse is still not responding.

Hi, the last couple of days my monitor has been losing connection to my pc, screen goes black, then coming on again for a second, going black etc. its a new pc, only had for a couple of weeks, havent had this issue before. im using displayport and latest nvidia drivers. if i restart the pc, it seems to connect fine and stay on. how do i fix it?

My pc just crashed about 2 mins after turning it on. While watching a video whole thing just froze and the audio was stuttering. Turned it off by holding the power button and now after turning it back with all lights and fans spinning no display found. Been resetting it for the past hour and tried reseating the RAM as well to no luck. Now i just have it turned on in the hopes it will detect the display. Any tips?

Here's my specs if it matters:

iGame RTX 3070

G.skill TridentZ 32gb (16gbx2)

Gigabyte X570 Gaming X

Adata Legend 710 m.2 drive (windows)
