Black Screen Issues & Why They Happen
It is a scary situation when your computer turns on and gets stuck on a black screen. Unlike the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), when your screen is black, you do not typically get any kind of diagnostic information that would help you figure out what the issue with your computer might be. Sometimes you may still be able to move the mouse cursor, and sometimes you may not be able to move or control anything. Overall, issues with your computer can be very frustrating to fix, especially if you do not have experience with diagnosing and fixing computers. Some common causes of black screens include:
- Operating system issues
- Corrupted updates
- Software issues
- Driver issues
- External devices
- Graphics card issues
- Overheating
- Power supply problems
- Monitor / screen issues
- Failed backlight
