Black screen with flashing white line on the top left

[killaxeddie]

So a couple days ago I turned my pc off and I went out for a bit and when I came back home my pc was on so pressed the power off button and it wasn't turning off like it used to so I held it. The morning after I tried turning it on and it just gives me a black screen with a little line on the top left corner of my screen

My specs are:
I7-4790k
16gb ram
Gtx 750ti
600 watt psu

ouch, i can't really answer this but if you are running windows and you have the install disk go into your bios and boot from drive and while in there look up how to repair or restore. Also you can run chkdsk from command prompts etc. That direction would be a good start.

So in order to get in windows completely I need a installation disc ??

Which OS do you have?

The blinking cursor can be an indication of a failing/failed HDD. Try Alt+F10? I forget exactly what it does, but it should get you to a repair option.

If so, and you get through to Windows - make a backup immediately (incase it is a failing HDD).

Once you've made a full backup, run a heath test on your drive (head to the drive manufacturers site & download their health check tool. Both SeaGate & Western Digital have them).

Did you do the 'in place' upgrade within Windows? Or did you create a bootable USB of W10? If so, just boot from it again & follow the 'repair' options.

If not, try Alt + F10 at the blinking cursor stage.

I did the windows 10 free upgrade and alt+f10 isn't pulling anything up on the screen
