So. My pc turns on normal. But when I restart, it rarely only takes the first try. For example I had some problems with a couple of programs so I restarted the computer. And I couldn't start it for like 30 minutes. But the pc starts normally in safe mode. I tried uninstalling my graphics drivers. When they were uninstalled the pc started normally the the drivers installed and again. The same. My pc specs are the following: Evga GTX 1060 sc 6gb, intel core i5 4460, 8gb ram. Oh and I use windows 10. It loads the windows logo and after that its just black. But my keyboard chroma save loads meaning the programs are on. And I can hear the sound of the programs. This whole problem isn't really heartbreaking for me, but still it sucks. If you can, please help me out. Thanks.

The psu is a corsair rm 650x 650 watt. The pc is about a year old and its in good shape. I have cleaned it, but i never touched the ram and the jumpers, but im pretty sure they are ok.

Is the screen off or is it just black?

If it's black, there might be some program(s) that is hindering the loading of your desktop.

When the screen is black press alt+ctrl+del to see if the task manager screen pops up.
Then click task manager->File->New task
type in the command box "explorer.exe"

This should take you to desktop regardless of background tasks.

Do you see the mouse pointer when the screen is black?

The first step you can take is doing a clean install of your video drivers.
1) Download DDU
2) Boot in safe mode
3) Run DDU
4) Boot normally and install new video driver

also remove any unwanted startup programs in your PC, just keep the bare minimum.

Hmm okay. This is weird. I still haven't reinstalled the drivers, but i turned off a couple of useless programs from starting up. And now 4/4 tries and all of them are ok, but I think this isn't right. I'l leave the pc on for a bit then restart it.

No problem on the down vote - that happens.

Take a look in Reliability History/Manager. You may discover some error code or other problem occurring just before or at the time of the black screens.

Event Viewer can be used in much the same way.

Explore first and see what you can find. If there are errors post accordingly and google as well. No need to rush into any suggested fixes per se. Key is to narrow down to the problem source to a direct cause and effect relationship.

Which can be difficult due to vague error codes and the likelihood that a number of problems may result in the same error code.

Ok so I uninstalled the drivers. They are installing now. But the. Screen went black because that happens for a second or so when nvidia is updating drivers. So now the screen is black and i cant do anything about it. The sounds are still here.

Hmm. Okay.... So I think we are getting somewhere. After reinstalling the drivers. Today the my pc was on for about 5 hours. I then decided to restart the computer. 1st try launched perfectly fine. 2nd try again, fine. Usually it only normaly restarts if it was on for a short time. Im still not sure if all is ok, but I will have to say more tommorow.

"DHCP client" - likely something network related. May be informational in nature. Doubt that it would tie in with the black screens.

Power off. Unplug and open the case.

Try reseating the GPU and RAM. Check all other components, and cables as well. Just as a means to reduce potential problem sources.
