I had a windows update going on in the background while I was playing fortnite, and my PC froze while the update was at 44%. I restarted the computer, and the screen hasn't turned on since. Everything else lights up. I've tried taking out the power source, and pressing the power button - and I've tried to change my HDMI cable from my GPU to integrated. What can I do to fix my PC?

So nothing is on your monitor? Even the start up? I would assume the update was just downloading. And would install when you shutdown/restart. If that's the case it may be something else. I would start by unplugging the pc. Then remove the cmos battery (the round flat battery) on your mobo for 5 mins. Put it back, plug it in and try. If that doesnt work. Tom's has a great no signal check list to try. I'm sure you can google it. I have it book marked, but on my phone right now so cant link it.
